"That's right." Wu De nodded, "People's conscience and faith are unreliable in the face of interests."
Since the beginning of grain requisition and land management, the civil affairs department's demand for grassroots administrative staff has greatly increased. Now they are responsible for disaster relief, and more and more parties are involved. Wu De and his small number of time-travelers cannot do everything.
Looking back, he does everything personally. He is particularly worried about this.
"But we are engaged in political security work, and we have never engaged in anti-corruption -" Ran Yao thought that anti-corruption has never been a matter of the public security organs, it belongs to the Discipline Inspection Commission. There is really no one in the Cross-Travel Group who has done anything in the Supervision Bureau or Discipline Inspection Commission.
"Everything has a beginning." Wu De said, "There is no such organization now, how about you set up one?"
"It's appropriate for you to report this." Ran Yao hesitated greatly. It is certainly not difficult to set up such a special agency - anti-corruption can also be regarded as within the jurisdiction of the internal affairs department. But in the current situation, anti-corruption work is more complicated than political security.
More: The person in charge must know the administrative system well and know where the loopholes are; he must have some knowledge of financial accounting and not be fooled by false accounts; anti-corruption cannot only be against the indigenous people: history has proven that the most powerful corrupt elements are always
Having a backer in the central government means that anti-corruption activities must be carried out within the Cross-Travel Group, so this person must be a person who is ruthless and has a strong stand...
It is quite difficult to find such a person, and even if he can be found, it would be unwise to put this organization under the Ministry of Internal Affairs - he has too much power. Ran Yao thought that it would be better to set up this organization independently.
"I'm not familiar with running secret agencies."
"This is not a secret agency. It has an investigation part, but it is completely different from political security." Ran Yao said, "It is better for this kind of agency to be directly controlled by the executive committee. After the anti-corruption work, it will inevitably involve people crossing the public.
of."
"You're right." Wu De thought that was indeed the case. If it did not receive the support of the highest authority, the existence value of such an institution would be quite limited.
Wu De then spoke up and wrote a report requesting the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
The direct result of this report was that the Executive Committee announced the establishment of a special audit committee - Cheng Dong of the Finance Committee also made a report, requesting the establishment of an audit bureau to be responsible for auditing and supervising the materials and financial status of the entire group.
This cannot be delayed.
In the spirit of saving manpower and making revolution, and for the purpose of minimizing bureaucracy, the Executive Committee decided to merge the two reports and establish a department in charge of both integrity and auditing. So the name of the Audit Committee was added
The word "special" was added.
The first director was appointed Yi Fan, who is not only an accountant, but also a professional auditor. He is a professional counterpart. His appointment was promoted by the Finance Committee. In the view of the Finance Committee, there are loopholes in the financial system of the group.
It is a hotbed of corruption and must be checked by a professional auditor. It is appropriate for an audit professional to hold this position.
"Is this person suitable?" Wu De looked at the fat man sitting behind the conference table seriously. This person looked like a small clerk. His auditing skills should be no problem, but for this position, does he lack the ability?
?
"It should be no problem." Ran Yao whispered, "Yifan is a totalitarian..."
"Understood." Wu De nodded. Totalitarians generally disown their relatives and do whatever they can to maintain the system, so this is a very suitable job.
Sure enough, his next speech exposed the strong tendency of totalitarianism. First, he wanted to change the name of the Special Audit Committee to the Special Audit Committee to Combat Corruption and Sabotage, or "Cheka" for short.
"Look, are you here?" Ran Yao chuckled softly, "These people are a bit Harder elements. Harder elements get excited when they hear the Iron Cross, tanks, and 88 guns. They hear kgb, Gestapo peace treaty
Ka will be elated."
Everyone looked at each other, and finally someone pointed out: Even in Russian, the abbreviation of the Special Audit Committee to Combat Corruption and Sabotage is not called Cheka. Isn't such blatant plagiarism going too far?
"It's not too much." Yifan looked cheerful, "Anti-corruption is a long-term work, a combination of public activities and secret investigations." He slowly took out his glasses cloth and wiped his glasses, "You probably also understand that anti-corruption is a combination of public activities and secret investigations."
The key is prevention, not arresting people afterward. No matter how many people are arrested, no matter how many major cases are handled, or even pulling out executive committee members and shooting them to show our determination to fight corruption, it is meaningless - the consequences of corruption have already occurred.
.”
"This guy is so ruthless. He will shoot the executive committee members as soon as he comes up." People's Commissar of Finance and Finance Cheng Dong said with a smile.
"Maybe this kid really has this plan." Some people were thinking silently in their stomachs.
"... Therefore, the committee must have a strong deterrent effect - to deter crime, it must have a sonorous and powerful name so that corrupt elements will tremble on their feet when they hear this word."
"It doesn't matter what you call it." Wen Desi said slowly, "You can call it Cheka or Gestapo. What are you going to do?"
Yifan smiled slyly: "It depends on how much power the executive committee grants me."
Finally he got the power he needed. In addition to having the power to audit finances and materials, this newly released Cheka in the 17th century was also authorized to enter various departments under the Executive Committee at any time to inspect and withhold account books and finances.
Material vouchers; the right to suspend the application and use of materials by various departments at any time; to freeze the accounts and properties of departments and individuals; and the right to summon people for interviews at any time - no more than 72 hours. This power of summons is only limited to indigenous personnel, and summons travel through
must be approved by the Executive Committee.
In order to ensure that this committee has strong executive power, the Special Audit Committee to Combat Corruption and Sabotage is guided by the Finance Committee in its operations, but is directly responsible to the Executive Committee.
Yifan's department quickly got into active work. During his surprise inspection of the refugee camp, he immediately found out that the amount of rice thrown in each meal in the refugee camp outside the county was wrong. He calculated it very accurately.
How much brown rice is needed to feed these refugees, but the current average daily rice consumption is 7.4% more than this number.
So the staff responsible for cooking and distributing brown rice in the refugee camp were immediately summoned for questioning. Within 24 hours, a small gang who embezzled rice used for daily porridge was discovered. Four people were involved in the case. The amount involved was three kilo of rice.
.
Wu De immediately held a public trial in the refugee camp with the participation of refugees and Civil Affairs Committee staff, and then the four unlucky guys were sentenced to six months of hard labor - "to set an example to others".
The effect of catching typical cases was very powerful. In the subsequent surprise inspections, several incidents of waste caused by negligence were discovered, but no corruption cases occurred again. In fact, most of the students who had just been assigned to work in the civil affairs department
For me, the "gold content" of this job is quite high - compared to ordinary employees in the commune who work at construction sites, docks, and factories every day, my job is equivalent to the status of a "cadre". Even the decent income is not bad.
Everyone generally thinks that it is not worthwhile for these four people to ruin their futures for just a few kilograms of rice.
This case also gave the brand name of the newly released "Cheka". Yifan was very proud. He wore a dark trench coat every day when he went to work or went out - leather trench coats were not suitable here in Lingao.
With a serious look on his face, he called everyone "comrade". And it was a very formal title with both first and last names, such as: "Comrade Wu De".
However, most of his time is still boring financial and material audits. According to the Finance and Finance Committee's plan: the Audit Committee or "Cheka" will conduct a comprehensive audit of various departments and institutions.
"This job is very important, it can be called a heavy responsibility." Cheng Dong said to Yi Fan in the office of the Finance Committee, "Would you like to drink kombucha?"
"Just give me some tea."
"Actually, kombucha tastes good, I quite like it." Cheng Dong made him a cup of tea.
"The Independent Commission Against Corruption invites people to talk to us for coffee, but when they come to our place, they drink tea." He joked, "I'm afraid you will often invite people to tea in the future."
"I hope it won't be like this." Yifan replied carefully. He realized that this conversation was very important and he had to seize the time to understand the spirit of the leader.
"This audit is very difficult, and it probably won't go well." Cheng Dong finally got to the point.
Yifan nodded. After all, the formal financial system has only been gradually improved since the beginning of this year, and there will be many problems left in the accounts.
"The most annoying thing is that many heads of ministries and agencies either know nothing about the financial system or are indifferent. Some people are resistant and feel that strict financial systems and audits are a sign of distrust in them." Cheng
Dong smiled sadly, "Accountants are not welcome anywhere."
"They don't understand the importance of financial systems yet..."
"Yes, everyone talks about institutional issues in a logical way. They will say that people's consciousness is unreliable and must be guaranteed by a strong system. In fact?" Cheng Dong snorted, "Everyone wants to be an exception."
"It's true." Yifan didn't know what the leader meant by saying this, so he had to agree first before speaking.
"Which department do you plan to start with for this comprehensive audit?" he asked.
"Of course it's Guangzhou Station. This station was established early, and the amount of money and materials coming in and out is very large, as well as a large amount of expenses, including bribes," Yifan said, "I can imagine that the accounts inside must be a mess.
The mess should be the most difficult. Once you gnaw it off, everything else will be easy to deal with."
"That's not necessarily the case." Cheng Dong shook his head and said, "Guo Yi's position is very stable. He has family background problems and will never be easily taken advantage of. And since we opened the Delong branch in Guangzhou in the first half of this year,
The financial system of Guangzhou Station has been completely formalized - although Guangzhou’s accounts are large, they are not necessarily difficult to manage.”
