Charity groups should be more transparent (2)

Any problem related to charity organizations are likely to lead to collapse of the credibility. The Red Cross Society of China (RCSC) came under fire in 2011 after a young woman calling herself "Guo Meimei" claimed in micro-blog posts that she worked for an organization under the RCSC and detailed her lavish lifestyle. After that, reform has been carried out in RCSC. For example, it has recently set up a special committee composed of 16 members to supervise the collection and management of donations, established thorough process of management and made constant improvement on transparency, which win wide recognition from the society.

Other charity organizations should learn from RCSC. Of course, for RCSC there is a lot of room for improvement. For example, it may open wider to the public in the future and invite enthusiastic professionals from all walks of life to join the special committee.

Official charitable funds should further improve the management transparency and establish clear account disclosure system and accessible information platform convenient for people to look up, which is the pillar of long-term vitality of charity funds.
