About 500 of the more than 34,000 officials whose accounts were audited last year were suspected to be corrupt and referred to prosecution agencies for further investigation.
Auditor-General Liu Jiayi said yesterday that the numbers were roughly the same as in the last two years.
Among the accounts audited were those of four provincial or ministerial-level officials and heads of 12 State-owned enterprises, the National Audit Office (NAO) said. But it did not say what the results of the audits were.
