Minister’s Office, to implement changes that will create a new integrated inspection system. Staff

development and sufficient staffing in terms of numbers and ability are both needed. The staff in the
inspection system should be given appropriate status and adequate authority so that the integrated

inspection system can fulfill aforementioned expectations, meet standards, and overcome challenges.

1. Initial recommendations

Staff

Relevant agencies should institute a personnel development plan and create a guide for core

competencies of inspectors general and supporting staff. Agencies should also consider and review
contents and methods of training courses for inspectors general, assistants to inspectors general, and

supporting staff in the inspection system. The following training courses should be devised.

- A training course for inspectors general of the Prime Minister’s Office, ministerial inspectors
general, and departmental inspectors general, with modules addressing role, function, and authority of

inspectors general, as well as a professional judgment course.

- A training course for assistants to inspectors general of the Prime Minister’s Office, ministerial

inspectors general, and departmental inspectors general, addressing techniques for collecting and
analyzing data, planning for inspections, writing inspection reports, and deportment.

- A training course for officials in inspection support units addressing coordination techniques,

facilitation, and knowledge and skills for storing, searching, and maintaining information.

Process

Planning and formulating issues for integrated inspection

- There should be integrated, funded inspection plans, projects, and policies under area, regional,

and local strategic frameworks. Also, issues for inspection should be focused on governmental policy and

policy results more so than on trivial plans or projects.
- Inspection of plans, projects, and important government policies should include urgent policy

issues and monitoring inspections in urgent cases.

- Ministerial inspection plans should consider similarities among issues in order to decrease
redundancy among inspection issues.
