The conversion rate of scientific research achievements is zero. Guangxi Audit: A university received 131 million scientific research funds. Audit | Funds | Funds | Finance | Budget | Projects | Scientific Research | Universities
On July 25th, Luo Haishan, Director of the Audit Department of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, delivered the Audit Work Report on the Implementation of the Autonomous Region's Local Budget and Other Financial Income and Expenditure for the Year 2022 at the Fourth Meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th People's Congress of the Autonomous Region.
The above report disclosed the relevant situation of Guangxi in auditing funds for science and education revitalization.
The report states that the Guangxi Audit Office conducted an audit on the management and use of special funds for financial subsidies to 9 district managed universities from 2020 to 2022. The main issues identified include:
Firstly, the market conversion rate of scientific and technological achievements in universities is low. A university has received a total of 179 million yuan in financial investment for scientific research, implemented 702 scientific research projects, and only 5 project results have achieved market transformation, accounting for 0.71%; A university has received a total of 131 million yuan in financial investment for scientific research, implemented 862 scientific research projects, and achieved 0 results transformation.
The second issue is that the focus of university science and technology project approval is not prominent enough. Three universities have implemented 2075 research projects, including 811 paper based research projects with a budget of less than 100000 yuan, accounting for 39.08%.
Thirdly, the surplus funds for scientific research projects are idle. The net surplus of funds for research projects in four universities is 66.8228 million yuan, which has been idle for a long time but has not been activated in a timely manner; 22 scientific research projects in 2 universities were budgeted based on actual needs, with a maximum deviation of 69.24% between the budget and actual expenditure, resulting in idle funds of 9.1402 million yuan.
