What the document holds
First Enforcement Decree of the ACRC Act (Presidential Decree 20737, in force 29 Feb 2008), full text (92 articles, 2 annexes, addenda, reason statement). Programme content: reporting and protection (arts. 54-70), awards and rewards (arts. 71-83) with the same rules as the 2005 Anti-Corruption Act decree under new numbers: awards up to KRW 50 million (self-disclosure 20%, KRW 200 million), rewards 20%-4% (annex 1), cap KRW 2 billion (art. 77(3)), 50% withholding, fines excluded; Reward Committee now 7 members. These unchanged rules are already recorded from kor-moleg-acad-decree-2005 (whose rows run to 2015), so they are not repeated here. Added: event for the new decree replacing the Anti-Corruption Act decree. 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. Rules restated from other sources are now recorded from this document too (decision 8).
