Chapter 556 Social Supervision of Government Finance
Listening to Cao Xingfan's report, Yu Fan looked through the documents in front of him, and the more he read, the more angry he became. Originally, the district had a special audit department to carry out statistics like this. Cao Xingfan did this. It cannot be said that he did not come to Yu Fan to claim credit, but Yu Fan's purpose was very clear, which was to curb the trend of wanton extravagance and waste of public funds in the district, and Cao Xingfan's move was in compliance with Yu Fan's wishes.
Cao Xingfan has done some research on what Yu Fan, the district secretary, did after he came to Qingling District. Secretary Yu is a person who does practical things, whether it is cracking down on gangsters in Lanjiang City or dealing with corruption. The punishment of corrupt elements is very tough. Cao Xingfan has encountered such leading cadres before. Such people do practical things themselves and hope that people around them will do practical things, so let such a leader appreciate your The way is to let him know that you are a practical person.
With this reform of the District Finance Bureau, Cao Xingfan knew that he was trying to stand out and violated some people's taboos. In fact, this is not easy to understand. He has been doing this for so many years, and suddenly he said that he wanted to change, and there was someone taking the lead. If you want to reform, wouldn't it make people look down upon you, but for the sake of your official title, you have to take this risk. These days, Cao Xingfan has been having trouble sleeping and eating, and he thought about it for a long time before he made up his mind.
If you are not jealous of others, you are a mediocre person. Since you have decided to rely on Secretary Yu, you must take the leader's wishes as the criterion. Since the leader wants to change the consumption of public funds in the district, it is also an opportunity for you. To seize the opportunity Cao Xingfan would not think he was any worse than anyone else when it came to this kind of thing, especially when he thought that Chen Qianzheng was already a member of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee, his heart became even more intense. He gritted his teeth and came to Yu Fan to report on his work in the shortest possible time.
"How could the consumption of public funds in the district be so high in the first quarter? It actually reached 40% of the total expenditure." Looking at Cao Xingfan's statement with clear accounts, Yu Fan was also very surprised. 'Three Gongs' Consumption has always been a big part of the government's financial expenditure. Yu Fan knows this well. The huge amount of public funds for going abroad, buying cars with public funds, and entertaining with public funds has always been very eye-catching. According to the statistics released by the country every year Judging from the data, these three expenditures account for a very large proportion of the total national fiscal expenditure, reaching 30% of the total expenditure. In the first quarter of Qingling District, it actually exceeded 10%. Ten, this had to shock Yu Fan.
"The number of publicly funded study abroad trips in the first quarter actually reached 128. What kind of important things are happening in our district that require such frequent trips abroad?" At the end of the sentence, there was already a faint hint of emotion in Yu Fan's words. With a hint of anger, in three months, various departments of the Qingling District Government actually conducted 128 overseas inspections. One or two inspection groups went abroad almost every day. Isn't this a joke? And the purpose The destinations are very clear. They are almost all places like Europe, Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau. What kind of inspection is this? Isn’t it just a trip abroad? It’s just random playing.
"What's going on with buying cars? How could our district buy so many cars in the past few months?" Yu Fan said a little loudly, pointing to the purchase of cars with public funds.
At this time, Cao Xingfan had begun to sweat on his forehead. When he heard Yu Fan ask, he quickly said: "Secretary Yu, some cars are indeed aging and it's time to replace them, and these replaced cars , will also be transferred to the lower-level leadership department for use, and will not be idle,”
With a slight snort, Yu Fan did not speak, but looked helplessly at the huge amount of public funds spent on entertainment. He sighed, closed the document, looked at Cao Xingfan standing in front of him and said: "The District Finance Bureau is in charge of the entire district. Money bag, as a financial director, your responsibility is huge, I want to know clearly what you are going to do next,"
Seeing Secretary Yu sitting there with an expressionless expression, Cao Xingfan also said bravely: "Secretary Yu, regarding this situation, the Party Committee of the Finance Bureau has already held a meeting and decided to review the district's financial affairs every quarter in the future. Disclosure of expenditures and acceptance of social supervision. "Disclosing financial expenditure statements is a commonplace issue. It was originally a good way to accept supervision from the people, but few people actually implemented it. Some parts simply It was done perfunctorily, and a lot of data was laid out there, like a bible, and no one could understand it.
Cao Xingfan's words made Yu Fan frown. How could he not understand the tricks involved? However, these words also made him feel moved. He looked at Cao Xingfan with a smile and nodded: "Okay, it is indeed a good idea to disclose government finances." Method, every financial expenditure we make comes from our people, how it is used and where it is used, the people have the right to know." After hearing this, Cao Xingfan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This question was considered a mixed bag. It's past.
Looking at Cao Xingfan with a smile, Yu Fan said: "However, since it is to be made public, it must be transparent, thorough, truthful, and meticulous, so that our people can understand it at a glance. Every time we go abroad for inspection, the car's Purchases and entertainment must be meticulous to the individual and announced to the public in detail. Even if it is entertaining a leader or eating a few dishes and a soup, there must be clear records so that our people can know every bit of us. Where is the money spent?"
The more he spoke, the more Yu Fan's thoughts became more vivid. The huge consumption expenditure of the 'three public servants' has always been a cancer that breeds corruption. It cannot be eradicated overnight. Even if supervision and punishment are increased, I am afraid it will not be possible. It will not have much effect. Policies from above and countermeasures from below are common in many places. If all consumption of 'three public affairs' is made public and subject to social supervision, then things will be different. Although this is the case There will be some drawbacks, but the overall effect is good.
Let’s not talk about going abroad at public expense and buying cars with public funds, but let’s talk about the issue of reception. Some people from the provinces and cities come down, or some leaders from brother counties and cities come to exchange and learn. Qingling District can’t help but receive them, but this reception must also be divided. In terms of hierarchy, the higher the level of the leader, the higher the standard of the reception. This alone, the annual financial expenditure is staggering, and this does not include the feasting and drinking that some people do under the banner of reception.
If these things can truly be disclosed to the public, the situation will be different and social supervision will be formed. Then no one will risk losing their official position by asking for certain entertainment specifications. You want him to eat and drink a lot, but he still refuses.
Yu Fan said he was happy, but Cao Xingfan was a little frightened when he heard this. He was going to take it seriously. In this way, he, the financial director, would be at the forefront of the storm. People in the district might hate him. You can drown yourself by spitting.
"Old Cao, I still trust your ability. I am very relieved that the Finance Bureau is in your hands." Looking at Cao Xingfan, he praised him and said with a smile: "Well, about this matter , you go back and make a detailed plan, the district committee will hold a standing committee meeting in two days, you can also attend it then,"
Cao Xingfan was already very upset at this time. He just stood there and nodded. Yu Fan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Is there anything else? If nothing else, just go back and prepare." Cao Xingfan was complaining in his heart. , but his face didn't show it at all, he nodded and said: "Secretary, please rest assured, I will definitely work hard to do this well," Yu Fan looked at him, smiled and nodded.
After leaving the office, Cao Xingfan started to sigh. He was also absent-minded along the way. He didn't even hear anyone calling him, "Old Cao, what are you doing? Why do I see you so dejected?" Cao Xingfan looked up and saw that it was Chen Qianzheng. As if seeing a life-saving straw, she took his hand and said: "Director Chen, you have to save me this time."
Chen Qianzheng was stunned for a moment, then he looked at him and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you, Old Cao? Didn't you just report your work from Secretary Yu? I heard that Secretary Yu is in a good mood today," Cao Xingfan had a wry smile on his face. Seeing that there was no one around, he told everything.
After hearing this, Chen Qianzheng's face became solemn. Seeing that Cao Xingfan wanted to say something else, he raised his hand and said, "Come and sit at my place." Cao Xingfan nodded knowingly and entered the office for a long time. Chen Qianzheng was sitting there. He didn't say a word, just smoked a cigarette and lowered his head to think. It wasn't until Cao Xingfan on the side got a little impatient with the waiting that he raised his head and sighed: "Old Cao, what should I do about this matter? You have to do it." Think carefully,"
Cao Xingfan gave a wry smile and said: "Who says it's not the case? I understand why you have to offend people when doing practical things, but if this matter is really done as Secretary Yu said, it won't be just one or two people who are offended. I'm afraid When those people start making trouble, I won’t even have any bones left,”
When Chen Qianzheng said this, he couldn't help but chuckle, pointed at Cao Xingfan and said: "You old Cao, I told you to think about it carefully, but I didn't ask you to consider this." Cao Xingfan was stunned, looked at him and said: "Don't think about it. Well, what are you considering?" Chen Qianzheng smiled mysteriously, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up the teacup on the table and drank the tea leisurely.
"Director Chen, don't be too tight-lipped. As long as you find a way to get through this difficulty, how about I invite you to Cuifeng Nightclub tonight?" Cao Xingfan was really anxious and spoke in a hurry. , Chen Qianzheng couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Fuck you, in a place like that, didn't you deliberately let me make mistakes?"
Cao Xingfan was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, we won't go there. How about we find a place to have a drink tonight?" Chen Qianzheng smiled, looked at him, shook his head and said, "Old Cao, What happened this time may be an opportunity for you," Cao Xingfan was a little confused when he heard this and looked at him with confusion.
"Think about it, Secretary Yu is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of our city at such a young age, so what does he need most now?" Cao Xingfan was stunned for a while, but Chen Qianzheng said with a smile: "What he needs most now is political achievements. As long as Once you have political achievements, then progress will be a matter of time." At this point, he leaned over and whispered: "I heard that our Secretary Yu's backstage is up there." After speaking, he pointed to the sky and asked Cao Xingfan I was suddenly shocked and speechless,
