Who Will Solve The Problem Outside The Audit Report?

The audit report is "stingy". The report on the results of the procurement audit of colleges and universities, together with more than 100 words. Apart from the fact that 6 colleges and universities did not approve the purchase of imported products by themselves for 164 million yuan, they could not find any other clues.

But the teachers in charge of University procurement are generous. They did not hide anything and told a lot of facts, which made journalists understand the procurement of colleges and universities beyond the scope of the audit report.

In the course of the interview, a university teacher told reporters that the average annual purchase of imported equipment in Colleges and universities is mostly tens of millions of yuan, and 985 projects and 211 Engineering colleges will be more, which are not subject to examination and approval.

We might as well make a rough estimate based on this prompt. There are 76 universities directly under the Ministry of education, and each university purchases 50 million yuan of imported equipment annually. The total amount of imported equipment purchased by these universities is 3 billion 800 million yuan a year. If, according to the expert's viewpoint, other items of financial nature, such as goods, services, major projects, and larger construction projects are included, what is the figure?

Obviously, according to the current management situation of University procurement, how big is this figure, and how much money the actual upstream will be away from the supervision of government procurement. Even if only tens of billions of yuan or tens of billions of dollars are needed, we should not let it go free in the "private land", even if only a small sum of money in the area should be released through the channels of the system.

Ivory tower is used to freedom. There is no freedom to purchase a little, is it also called "ivory tower"? Professors can think so, the school can think so, but if the management department also thinks so, the trouble can be big, and the consequence is not simply the "unaudited self purchase" in the audit report.

In 2006, the media broke the news that after the merger of the 4 schools of Wuhan University, the purchase of 300 million yuan per year was completely dominated by the former director of the school's purchasing center as a "pen" in Jinhua. Later, it was revealed that Jinhua was prosecuted according to law. Lu Zongzhi, the former deputy director of the center's teaching and research equipment procurement, was also quick to follow.

No one can manage, or even supervise poorly, it is possible that the clean "ivory tower" will be reduced to a serious area of power corruption. These risks, which are not seen in the audit report, are more daunting.

Together with the audit report, there is also the result of the Department's handling of the problem: the Ministry of education has asked all units to purchase the imported products in accordance with the regulations in accordance with the regulations.

If it is true, it can not be denied that this is the effectiveness of audit. However, what is not covered by the audit report, or even a problem that can not be found in the audit?

Some experts say that in the blind area of procurement regulation in Colleges and universities, there is only a strong regulatory intervention. Only by strict institutional constraints can free behavior return to the right track.

But who is the regulatory power that can be relied upon?
