As the accountability system improvement, general president of the Red Cross to bear the pressure, that occur repeatedly in the United States who do not want to be selected as the post of President of the case.
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Mr. Marquet charge of East Asia spread the Southern Weekend reporter said, “transparent operation” is a half-century, the international Red Cross movement since the guarantee of enduring. This action were enthusiastic French won an exaggeration to open the thick 578 16 “2010 International Committee of the Red Cross Annual Report”, licking your fingers look to reporters, “all income from contributions and spending, small to every a CHF, we are statistics on this. “He said,” I can not give you this this, because we were asked to contribute to save costs, but all the content you can be found in the ICRC official website. ”
ICRC activities are funded from the annual national government funding, the Southern Weekend reporter saw in 2010, it received a U.S. government donation of 2.61783 billion Swiss francs, the Chinese government also made a contribution of 59 million Swiss francs.
Transparent for donors to comply with the will of donors, their responsibility is the cornerstone of modern charity industry. “Donor satisfaction, which is the highest standard public charity.” WangZhenYao said. Institutional arrangements in this regard, the Chinese Red Cross is clearly a big gap with international counterparts.
Existing mechanisms in the Chinese Red Cross, the Red Cross donors in the official inquiry system online donation money can only check whether the arrival, but no money flows, the use of this; National Audit Office will be a year for the government to red a source of funding allocated to audit the income and expenditure, but to the Red Cross sources of the other two funds (raised money for charity and the levels of contributions paid) audit; fundraising target for the whole society from the public in Red ” Foundation Management Regulations “of the constraints, the annual financial revenue and expenditure, project implementation, etc., according to” China Red Cross Society Act, “simply to report to the Council, but not the obligation to the public, publicity; Although the commitment” on a regular basis to the public published financial income and expenditure, “but the official website of the Red Cross” Statistics Bulletin, “so far only disclosed in 2007; compared to other countries such as the United States, Red Annual Report can be found in the disclosure of the Red Cross and Red data base will have can be described as a brief report released to the extreme.
By the Ministry of Civil Affairs in charge of the Chinese Red Cross Foundation, the Foundation management system due to the implementation, by the “Foundation Management Regulations” constraints, information disclosure standards than in the Red Cross, but only relative. For example, the “Foundation Management Regulations” provisions must be published in March each year’s annual report last year, up to July, the Red Cross is still not disclosed in 2010 annual report.
Sunshine is the best disinfectant. In recent years, the Red Cross system is constantly being broke, “astronomical tent”, “million lunch” and other scandals, its lack of transparency within the long-term, open a direct relationship.
It seems some of the industry, not only exists in the Red opaque disclosure of this information, their internal operations but also gives a sense of walking a fine line of opaque. Such as the Red Cross directly under the “one percent” funds raised funds obviously wrong, but on their portal home page with “I want to donate” link. This is apparent violations, as required by law, non-raised funds “shall not take the initiative to specific public fundraising.”
MassMutual Foundation president Joseph Lee, that’s not enough transparency in the red, the main reason is the lack of accountability pressure. “We did not form a public offering market, not public, so there is no public accountability pressures, basically rely on self-term that resulted in internal accountability mechanisms on the vulnerability.”
In comparison, other national Red Cross Foundation to implement the general management system, is a true civil society organizations, but also receive government funding. The president of the directors elected by the private sector, receive an annual salary. As the accountability system improvement, general president of the Red Cross to bear the pressure, that occur repeatedly in the United States who do not want to be selected as the post of President of the case.
March 2011 earthquake in Japan, Taiwan Red Cross received a large number of contributions to the April 6 has 17 billion Taiwan dollars into their account. But then the media burst, “3.11″ a month after the earthquake, the Taiwan Red Cross was allocated NT $ 17 million to Japan, Taiwan caused great discontent. “During that time, Taiwan media reports in question cover the red, asking president to step down.” International NGO “Transparency International” East Asian Senior Director Liao told the Southern Weekend reporter fired.
