Earthquake funds spent properly
Despite a few irregularities, auditors found no major violations in reconstruction projects following last year's Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan.
With a planned investment of nearly 34 billion yuan ($5 billion), the 76 projects are distributed across 28 counties and districts in Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi provinces, which were hit hard by the 8.0-magnitude earthquake on May 12, 2008.
According to the National Audit Office (NAO), more than 4,500 auditors have been tracking reconstruction projects in the three provinces since January.
