Inspectors scrutinize local units' finances

The People's Liberation Army has sent inspectors to the seven headquarters of its military commands to check their financial affairs and management practices, PLA Daily reported on Tuesday.

The inspections will focus on 10 types of units, the newspaper said, without elaborating. "The reports made by the inspectors show that all PLA units are actively performing self-examinations of their financial affairs and steadily rectifying problems and improving money management," PLA Daily noted. However, it said, some unit commanders misunderstood the intent of the campaign.

To push inspections forward, the PLA said in a notice sent to its units that commanders must lead financial checks. It urged inspectors to examine all expenses and revenues thoroughly.
