China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs (MCA) has announced that it will audit the American Chamber of Commerce in China (AmCham China), the Australian China Chamber of Commerce (Austcham China) and about 250 other groups as part of an effort to check on social organizations in the country, said the Global Times.
The selected organizations will be checked in various areas, including their financials, regulation compliance and other activities. Inspectors will also check to make sure the theme and content of events hosted by the organizations are in line with its charter rules and areas of business.
The organizations have been randomly selected for the audit, most of which are Chinese associations, and the process is expected to last through August 2019, the MCA said in a statement on its website.
