Programme content: corruption reports received by year 2002-2014; reports handled by disposal; referral totals (total row only) with results; people prosecuted/disciplined, warnings, institutional-improvement recommendations and KRW 553 billion to be recovered; referrals by agency; 2014 referrals by sector and type; internal whistleblowing referrals; protection rules and requests (2008-2014 and 2014) with outcomes; identity-protection fines; award and reward rules (restating the 2013 report: awards up to KRW 100 million, self-disclosure up to 20%/KRW 200 million, rewards 4-20% up to KRW 2 billion; not duplicated in the rules table) and cumulative payments; public-interest reports by sector and by year 2011-2014, handling and sanctions, protection requests, rewards by year and by sector, largest rewards; reward-rule changes in 2014 (minimum penalty, 10 payments a year); amendment bill; public awareness levels 2011-2014. Not recorded (context, not programme statistics): survey/inspection of 600 institutions and memo to 1,300; organisations with internal procedures (75 in 2013, 105 in 2014); education sessions and leaflets; text roundings identical to table values (KRW 397/227/28 million). The text says the Act took effect "Dec. 30, 2011" (misprint for 30 Sep 2011); the Jan. 14, 2014 revision on political-activity orders is mentioned without saying which Act, not recorded. Rest of the report (ombudsman, integrity, Corruption Inspection Team, dismissed officials, Code of Conduct, education, appeals) is out of scope. Rules restated from other sources are now recorded from this document too (decision 8).
