To strengthen rules and assure openness.

handling HCCS financial transactions. No blank receipts have been found All reimbursements with more than $300 expenses

are reviewed and signed by both Zhang Jie and Sun Xiaoli

Teachers bonuses were clear and fair Incomes and expenses of Chinese New Year

purchase together, which was corrected by explanations

Financial Review

Must separate the purchase personal items and HCCS goods from the invoice

Create HCC inventory list, include series number, model and brand name, when and who purchase, how much cost, who keep and so on
