What the document holds
Anti-Corruption Act Enforcement Decree as amended by Presidential Decree 19238 (in force 30 Dec 2005), full consolidated text (53 articles, 2 annexes, addenda, amending text, reason statement). Programme content: monetary awards (포상금, art. 35: up to KRW 50 million; self-disclosure up to 20% of the amount reported and KRW 200 million), reward grounds (art. 35-2; fines and penalties excluded), Reward Committee (9 members), reward schedule (annex 1: 20% up to 1억, then 14%, 10%, 6%, 4%), cap KRW 2 billion (art. 40(3)), no reward for audit/investigation officials on their own duties (art. 41; the earlier 50% cut for other officials is gone), joint reports, payment after recovery with up to 50% withheld until recovery starts (art. 44), clawback; addendum: new schedule applies to reports received after the decree. Already in the data: cap KRW 2 billion, award cap KRW 50 million, top 20% and bottom 4%, the 2005-12-30 event. Added: self-disclosure award caps (KRW 200 million and 20%), withholding share, fines-excluded flag, an event for the awards. Out of scope throughout: the commission's organisation and complaint handling, protection procedures and their deadlines (60-day protection decisions, 7-day objections, etc.), penalty schedules (fines for negligence 과태료, non-compliance charges 이행강제금, surcharges on fraudsters 제재부가금), employment limits and citizen audit requests. Intermediate bands of the reward schedules are not separate rows (only top and bottom rates, as earlier passes did); the 1,000-won rounding rule is not recorded.
