The purpose of this study is to discuss problems and seek improvement plans based on a critical analysis of the detailed standards for nondisclosure of 19 administrative departments in accordance with Article 26 of the Government Organization Act. To this end, the status of information disclosure-related regulations in 19 administrative departments was analyzed, and 6,094 cases of nondisclosed information were investigated and analyzed. In addition, through interviews with seven information disclosure experts, the analysis contents of this study were shared and reviewed. Furthermore, opinions on the effectiveness, problems, and system improvement areas of the detailed standards for nondisclosed information were collected. As a conclusion, three improvement measures were proposed: first, the legislation on the establishment of detailed standards for nondisclosure; second, the establishment of a system for regular substantive inspection of detailed standards for nondisclosure; and third, the improvement in the service of detailed standards for nondisclosure.

This study aims to discuss the issues of the detailed criteria of information subject to nondisclosure of the current National Assembly Information Disclosure Regulations and provide alternative strategies for the issues. As a theoretical study, the relevant previous studies were analyzed, the history of the National Assembly Information Disclosure Regulations was summarized, and the legal and institutional concept of the detailed criteria was discussed. Subsequently, the detailed criteria were analyzed in three aspects, namely, composition, operation, and content. For this analysis, opinions were collected by conducting interviews with five experts related to information disclosure at the National Assembly. In conclusion, the study provides alternative strategies, including a comprehensive revision of the National Assembly Information Disclosure Regulations, the necessity of revising detailed criteria, and the formation of a temporary specialized organization for revising detailed criteria.

"Detailed Nondisclosure Standards" of an institution include subject information and rationale that should not be disclosed by the institution. According to the Information Disclosure Act, such standards must be established in consideration of the nature of work, and continuous implementation is required. However, studies that reviewed the purpose and role of "Detailed Nondisclosure Standards" or the status of public institutions' development and operation of such standards were insufficient despite such standards being an indispensable tool in practice and a major device to protect the people's right to know. Therefore, this study introduces the strategies of the public institution and the research team to develop detailed standards for nondisclosure through the case of institution A. This will be of practical help to public institutions that intend to develop detailed nondisclosure standards in the future based on communication between institution A and the research team and sharing details during the project process.

This paper analyzes the 5,521 samples of the small and medium-sized businesses(SMBs) obtained from the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund. From January 2014 to September 2019, 85% of the SMBs have 5 or fewer full-time employees. The proportion of SMBs is overwhelmed by the elderly men, and most founders are the CEO. Also, about 87% of the workplace types are rented, while 64% of the CEO's residence types are owner-occupation. 47% of the financial grade score is less than 10 points out of 100 and 80% of SMBs have less than 200 million won of the loan guarantee. In particular, the total guarantee loan amount or the days of net guarantee have significantly positive relations with the working period of the CEO in the same industry, the number of employees, the operation period of SMBs, and the corporate business type. In the case of the financial grading score which has the highest weight in overall credit rating gets higher with the higher number of employees, the longer the operation period, and the corporate business type. However, the quantified non-financial grading score has no significant relationship with other explanatory variables, except for the corporate business type. This implies that a non-financial grade score is measured by other determinants that are not observed by the Korea credit guarantee fund. The pure non-financial grade score has positive relations with the working period of the CEO. Overall, this paper would help Korean SMBs upgrade their credit ratings and expand the money supply when there is no standardized credit rating model or no publicly available evaluation criteria for SMBs. We expect this paper provides important insights for further research and policy-makers for SMBs. In particular, to address the financial needs of thin-filers such as SMBs, technology-based financial services (TechFin) would use alternative data to evaluate the financial capabilities of thin-filers and to develop new financial services.
