2012年中国公众对慈善组织信息公开不满意比例下降

中国民政部主管的中民慈善信息中心5日发布《2012年度中国慈善透明报告》称，与2011年度相比，本年度中国公众对公益慈善组织的信息公开表示不满的公众比例，从92%下降到了的61%。

Beijing (CNS) – According to the 2012 China Charity Transparency Report released Saturday, 61 percent of those polled are not satisfied with the transparency of China's public charity organizations. The figure was 92 percent in 2011.

The report, which was directed and published by the China Charity Information Center under the Ministry of Civil Affairs, selected 500 charity organizations across the country. It then analyzed transparency based on the following four aspects: integrity, timeliness, accuracy and convenience of public access.

Last year, Chinese charities performed better in integrity and convenience of public access, but not in timeliness and accuracy, the report said.

The report also found that the bigger an organization is, the more attention it pays to information disclosure.

The report calls for national standards on charity information disclosure, industry supervision and management to ensure healthy development.
