For a long time, some budget units have a large amount of cash withdrawal and use, which is easy to induce irregular cash use and even corruption. According to the requirements of the central government, the implementation of official cards should follow four requirements: first, clarify the responsibilities of all parties concerned; Second, meet the requirements of the official card; Third, meet the financial dynamic monitoring; Fourth, strengthen coordination and create a good external environment.
The implementation of official card will play an active role in deepening the reform of public finance, strengthening the supervision and management of fiscal expenditure, improving the transparency of fiscal expenditure and building "sunshine finance". At the same time, the implementation of official cards is also an important measure to prevent corruption and reduce illegal acts of public servants.
To establish the official card system, we must determine the policy objectives and work direction according to the requirements of public finance reform, especially the modern treasury system, and grasp the three principles of taking the treasury single account system as the basis, meeting the needs of financial dynamic monitoring and management, and facilitating the use of funds. Under the guidance of the financial department, the official card issuing bank and China UnionPay should strengthen the construction of relevant information systems, ensure the timely and accurate incorporation of official card-related information into the management of financial dynamic monitoring system, and provide timely and accurate official card payment information for the financial management of budget units. ▲ Expert opinion
The timely issuance of official cards by the Ministry of Finance is of great positive significance and can also play a certain role. Cash payment is prone to corruption, and official cards can prevent invoice corruption in this respect. However, his precautions against serious waste of official expenses are very limited. For example, official reception consumption is a large part of official expenditure. If guests are invited to eat and spend in a restaurant, although they are settled by official card, there is no guarantee that the meal fee will be wasted when checking out. Whether the cashier or the person who signed the official card falsely issued the invoice. He still can't be completely transparent in this link. Therefore, it is not possible to completely prevent official corruption by relying solely on official cards.
If we can't touch the existing budget system, we can't solve the problem of excessive discretion of civil servants or leading cadres. To put an end to official administrative corruption from the root, only by further increasing the transparency of official financial expenditure budget and making the government's financial budget public. With the continuous application of new technologies, great achievements will be made in preventing administrative corruption of officials.
The main reason for the spread of high official consumption is the defect of public finance system. China's current financial system, from the arrangement of funds, the preparation, examination and supervision of departmental budgets, to the use and management of funds, has great loopholes. At the same time, because the existing financial budget is a soft constraint, once the budget is approved, there is almost no supervision and constraint on the budget implementation process.

Aiming at the root of the prevalence of luxury in official consumption, we should gradually promote the system construction of public finance system, including the budget preparation system, budget review and supervision system and audit system after budget implementation of governments at all levels. All expenditures of government departments should be budgeted, and the budgeting should be scientific and detailed. Every project and every expenditure should be detailed and clear. It is necessary to accept the budget review and supervision of people's congresses at all levels.
Public finance should implement the "sunshine budget", be fully open, accept the supervision and restraint of the people and accept the supervision of the news media. Once verified, those high-consumption behaviors such as building office buildings and providing office equipment that exceed the standard, as well as extravagance and waste of state assets, should be severely punished according to law.
