Chinese authorities have investigated more than 2,200 government officials for involvement in major fiscal1 fraud for the year of 2014.
Liu Jiayi, head of the National Audit2 Office says the majority of violations3 took place in sectors4 involving public funds, state assets and state-owned resources, such as land and mining.
"Serious violations often involve the officials abusing their power and colluding with outsiders. Illegal gains were discovered by officials and their close affiliates5 who profited from privileged information concerning state-owned resources, development plans and stocks. Malpractice was also detected in news media coverage6 and in attracting foreign investment where "under-the-table deals were sealed in the name of public welfare and government policy implementation7."
Auditors8 have found that over 780 billion yuan originally earmarked for land transfers was misappropriated by crooked9 officials to fill administrative10 expenses gaps, used for granting loans, or used to construct new office buildings and venues11.
Liu also says that government expenses have been reduced dramatically despite the problems.
"Auditing12 was carried out on 44 central government departments and 303 institutions and the financial budget of 221.35 billion yuan. The departments on the whole implemented13 the budgets for 2014 satisfactorily. The 'three public expenses' and conference expenses were reduced by 27 percent from the previous year. The reform on the use of government cars at the corresponding level was basically completed."
Finance minister Lou Jiwei says that the decreases were mostly the result of the ongoing14 frugality15 campaign.
"The decrease was the result of the 'eight-point rules' and ongoing frugality campaign launched by the central government, as well as the downsizing or canceling of delegations16 traveling overseas and stricter management of government vehicles and official receptions."
The "eight-point rules" championed by President Xi Jinping require government officials to strictly17 practice frugality and clean up undesirable18 work styles, including formalism and extravagance.
