Public viewing and consultation regarding the draft ordinance to amend part of the ordinance concerning the disclosure of financial status.

The Local Autonomy Act, in Article 243-3, Paragraph 1, stipulates the disclosure of financial status as a system to fulfill accountability to residents. However, the national government amended the law to "rationalize the disclosure procedures for the finances of local public entities," changing the frequency of disclosure from "twice or more per year" to "once or more per year."
In line with the spirit of this amendment, Niseko Town will also revise its "Ordinance Concerning the Disclosure of Financial Status."
