Since 2018, they have been in single digits for three consecutive years. The public budget and final accounts have achieved remarkable results.

　　According to the Ministry of Finance, the system of public budget and final accounts has been gradually improved, and the transparency of publicity has been continuously enhanced.

All provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have established a unified disclosure platform at the provincial, municipal, and county levels, and some regions have added WeChat public account pushes, small videos, and other public channels that are popular with the public.

Some regions have formulated a unified public template to standardize the expression format for the "three public" funds, government debt, government procurement, and poverty alleviation funds that are of public concern to increase readability and comparability among different regions.

　　However, there are still weak links in the disclosure of budget and final accounts in some localities.

Individual departments did not disclose their budgets and final accounts, and there were 8 departments that did not disclose their budgets and final accounts for the two years.

Some governments and departments did not disclose in time, the contents of the disclosure were incomplete, detailed and inaccurate, and the contents of the disclosure were not sufficiently readable.

　　The Ministry of Finance stated that in the future, it will take the public budget and final accounts as an effective measure to deepen the reform of budget management, adhere to the result-oriented, goal-oriented, and problem-oriented approach, do a good job in relevant work, and continuously improve the standardization and standardization of local budget and final accounts.
