Saemaul Geumgo Central Association is accelerating the digital transformation of its inspection and supervision system. The organization plans to enhance its risk management capabilities and upgrade its ongoing supervision framework through the development of a next-generation inspection system that strengthens big data-based risk assessment and anomaly detection functions.

On June 8, the Saemaul Geumgo Central Association announced that it held a mid-report meeting on the 'Reconstruction of the Inspection System' at its headquarters in Gangnam, Seoul, at the end of last month.

The meeting was attended by over 100 participants, including Hong Seong-ki, Chairman of the Saemaul Geumgo Central Association, as well as officials responsible for inspection and supervision and those in charge of anomaly detection. Attendees shared insights on the direction of the inspection system reconstruction, key improvements, big data-based risk assessment models, and strategies for enhancing anomaly detection functions, and discussed future development directions.

The reconstruction project aims to completely overhaul the existing system introduced in 2020. It was initiated in response to the growing demand for enhanced ongoing supervision and feedback from the field, and work began in collaboration with LG CNS in November of last year. The total project cost is approximately 10 billion won, with a target completion date set for February 2027.

Hong Seong-ki stated, "The reconstruction of the inspection system is a key initiative that goes beyond mere IT infrastructure improvement, elevating the risk management framework of Saemaul Geumgo to a new level. We aim to establish a data-driven inspection and supervision system that will enhance trust among our members and the local community, allowing us to evolve into a more reliable mutual finance institution."
