Dear colleagues,

The IFCSS financial management has turned out to be an very important
work that deserves close attention of the Council. Financial management
is in some sense crucial to the general operation of IFCSS. It is also
a key part of IFCSS' professionalization.

The Council's Financial Inspection Team (IT) has been working hard 
with the coordination of the Council's Finance Committee. Due to the
nature of our volunteering work and the complicatedness and significancy
of the financial work, the Finance Committee has extended the IT to be
a taskforce (TF) to continue the financial inspection, general internal 
auditing, and improvement of the financial regulations.

Council members Zhang Feng, Liqun, and me have been added to the taskforce.
The Finance Committee is also considering to include other CSS with needed
expertise into the TF. The following is the current list of the TF:

      Shen Tong     (Finance Committee member)
      Qi Bing       (FC)
      Zhou Hongguang(FC)

      Ding Yungui   (Council member)
      Dong Liqun    (C)
      Liu Chen      (C)
      Zhang Feng    (C)
      Bai Yan       (of Texas, invited volunteer)
      Luo Ning      (of New York, invited volunteer, former SV member)

Hongguang has been coordinating the IT effort. Approaching the end of the
school terms, like many others, he is having a busy time for his finals.
Upon the request of the Finance Committee, I will be serving as the 
coordinator of the TF until Hongguang is available again.

I hope all of my colleagues in the Council will share your idea with
us. Your concern and/or volunteer will be welcome. If you know other students
who are willing to share with us their concern about IFCSS and/or their
knowledge in finance/accounting or other related fields, please feel free
to let us know. A better IFCSS could only be possible with the keen
participation from all CSS.


Thanks,


Yungui

Liqun,

Please forward this to council-l net if possible.  Please comment
if you are interested.  I should stress that I do believe you and 
your colleagues are trying to do good.  But, as we all do, from
time to time we are just carried away by our own imagination of
self-rightness.  I may be wrong on this issue, also.

Because I have not seen any improvement since several appeals
to the council, the last the thing left for us is the SVC :-)
thank God we have a balanced structure.

:-)

Jinghong

When in doubt, do the right thing.

Subject:   Appeal on Council Illegal Activities
To:        IFCSS SVC
From:      Jinghong Li, signed
Date:      Dec. 6, 1993


This appeal has been triggered by the attached message, council member
Ding Yungui's public announcement about a "task force on HQ financial 
inspection".
 
My 5 concerns and 5 requests are:

Concern 1.
    
    Any committee or working group within the IFCSS Council can and can 
    only be formed by Council resolution.  Mr. Ding's announcement did not 
    mention any such resolution, nor any other formal council activity
    during or after the 2nd council teleconference.  Thus, the forming 
    of the said "task force" is not only void and but deprived other 
    council members', and therefore the council as a whole, rights and duty.

Request 

    SVC should consider declarng this announcement only expressed personal 
    opinion or suggestions on a particular issue.  A formal post is needed 
    on the council-l net to clarify the situation.


Concern 2.

    The said message showed that a lot of work and preparation must
    have occurred prior to the message.  But, contrary to the basic 
    principle of a open IFCSS Council, there has been no posts or discussions
    in the council-l net, which is the council's working net, leads to 
    the said issue.  

Request 

    The SVC should consider to request Mr. Ding and Council Chairman 
    Mr. Dong Liqun give public an explanation about:  when and how 
    such activities were conducted?   Are other council members aware 
    of their actions prior to the post ?  Why the public has been left 
    in dark? 


Concern 3.  

    Since the beginning of this term Council, its email working network
    has been re-arranged.  It seems the Council now has a formal Private 
    Working Net "council-wn".  This issue was raised and discussed
    in the ifcssvc network and response from Mr. Ding Yungui was given 
    as council-wn being a non-working net.  

    IFCSS's openness is established by many hard woring people during
    last 4 years.  Council email working net has been open for public 
    auditing since the 3rd term.  However, given the past five months 
    experience, that seemed not the case any more.  This question is 
    raised again by the attached post.

Request  

    SVc should consider to investigate the real situation of the Council 
    email network and its openness.  The Council owes the public an 
    explanation on whether and how its worknet is open to public auditing.


Concern 4.

    During the Council's HQ financial inspection process, an outside 
    volunteer, a non-professoional and non-finance major Chinese student, 
    had been invited to participate - without the knowledge and consent 
    of the Council.  This issue was raised before and during the Council 
    2nd telecon, but there has been no result.

    Again, in the attached message dated Dec 5, 1994, another non-official
    is invited to the investigate the IFCSS financial situation.

    It is a common knowledge that any company/organization has its own 
    internal business and confidences.  Anyone involved with thees information
    have to go through basic procedures, and may be required to sign 
    non-disclosure agreements.  This is to be responsible to both 
    parties so they won't face legal problems in the future.

    Some may argue that Council members did not sign such an agreement, 
    either.  When Council members took the position, they agreed to obey 
    the Constitution of IFCSS which prohibits them to damage IFCSS.  

    For this particular "volunteer", whose knowledge about finance was 
    from one or two courses took in a college, there is no justification 
    for him to be involved in IFCSS's financial process.  We probably 
    don't want to see that someone's mother-in-law will become a 
    "volunteer" and be invited to "inspect" the HQ's files soon :-)

Request

    The SVC should re-address the dignity of the IFCSS Constitution, 
    By-laws and rules.  It should also re-address that, within IFCSS, 
    everyone has to obey the rules.  Good intention can not replace the 
    right procedures.  

    If professional opinion is indeed required, the Council should 
    invite qualified professionals through legal procedures. 

    To do both IFCSS and this "volunteer" a favor, he should not be 
    involved in IFCSS financial process again.  All previous activities done 
    by this inapproperiately invited person should be declared void;  
    and his views expressed in this regard should be disregarded when 
    conducting IFCSS business.  Should there be any damages brought upon 
    IFCSS due to the said activities, they should be charged against the 
    responsible parties.  All similar activities should be prevented. 


Concern 5.

    In the attached message, it is mentioned that the Council finance 
    committee Chairman is busy, therefore, Mr. Ding is now in charge of the 
    finance subcom's duty of investigating the HQ financial situations.

    Each Council subcommittee has its own work and authority limits, Mr. Ding 
    is not a member of the said subcom, hence has no right to pass over
    the other two finance committee members to assume this duty.  If such 
    need do occur, new assignments should be formally and openly done by 
    council resolution.

    It should also be pointed out that each IFCSS Council member has equal
    rights and duty except the Chairperson's extra duty defined by the 
    By-law for chairing meetings.    

Request
  
    The SVC should consider to remind council members that in order to 
    better serve their duties as representatives of CSS, they should 
    read through, at least once, the IFCSS documents.  Because most of
    the errors or mistakes occurred are due to the lack of the basic 
    knowledge of the IFCSS rules and regulations.

Subj: Professionalization of IFCSS Accounting System
Date: December 11, 1993


The Council's Finance Committee has been working hard to push IFCSS'
financial management into a professional level since the beginning of 
this term. In the first Teleconference of the Council, the Finance
Committee proposed a bill to the Council, which later became a resolution,
to carry out a financial inspection of the IFCSS HQ. After the 
Teleconference, the Finance Committee formed an Inspection Team headed
by Mr. Zhong Hongguang to work on the inspection. The Team examined the
accounting records made available to the members by the HQ, and arranged
for four members to conduct an on-site inspection of the HQ in the weekend
of November 5.

Due to many reasons, the Inspection Team was not, and is still not, able 
to obtain all the necessary materials from the HQ to complete the mission
of financial inspection in the first trip. Our examination of the
accounting records has indicated many aspects in the IFCSS accounting
system that need improving. In the second Teleconference of the Council,
the Finance Committee gave a progressive report of the inspection to the
Council.

It has been clear that the IFCSS accounting system and IFCSS' general
financial management is one of the key areas that will define IFCSS'
professional operation, the Finance Committee is determined to continue
its effort to push it into the right direction. Currently, while we
continue examining the IFCSS HQ accounting records, we have also been 
in contact with some professional accounting firms to consider future
possible CPA auditing. We will keep you updated as we go along.

This work is a difficult task for the Council, and it is a challenge that
IFCSS must face. During our work, we have received tremendous support
from our colleagues in the Councils, IFCSS veterans, and many
ordinary CSS who are concerned about the future of IFCSS, which we 
appreciate so much. We are also happy to say that our work has broken a
path for IFCSS to move along toward professionalism.

We have noticed that the IFCSS HQ has also taken measures to invite CPA
offices to audit IFCSS' accounting records. The Finance Committee is
pleased to see such positive reactions from the IFCSS HQ. We believe it
is a right direction towards a professional accounting system for IFCSS.

The Finance Committee, while playing the role on behalf of the Council to
supervise the IFCSS accounting practice and financial management, will
appreciate the maximum cooperation of the HQ in regard of the inspection
and auditing. We expect the HQ to set, and submit to the Council, a
timetable of the proposed open bidding for CPA auditing and its development
as well. Meanwhile, the Finance Committee continues to urge the Inspection
Team on making greater efforts to proceed its internal inspection as planned.

Again, IFCSS' professionalization is far from easy an task, and the
concern and support from as many people as possible are mostly needed.
If you have ideas or comments on this matter, please feel free to let
us know.

Subject: IFCSS HQ Memo to SVC
Status: RO

Date:     December 9, 1993
From:     IFCSS Headquarters
To:       IFCSS Supervisory Committee
Subject:  The Violation of Regulations by Some Council Members

This is to note the Supervisory Committee that Zhou Hongguang and
some other Council members have violated the IFCSS Financial
Regulations, and lied to the HQ about council authorization.

Article 11 of IFCSS Financial Regulations reads "The treasurer
must open all accounting books and other financial records to the
council or any authorized agent of the council all financial
records upon a written request from the council or authorized
council committee." According to Article 11, the access to IFCSS
accounting books and financial records is i) limited to "the
council or any authorized agent of the council" and ii) based
"upon the written request from the council or authorized council
committees". However, without proper authorization or any written
request, Zhou Hongguang, the Coordinator of the Inspection Team,
has made available to Mr. Bai Yan, a political science student at
Texas Tech University, a copy of all the IFCSS financial
documents and records. He also lied to the HQ about the council
authorization in the matter. 

The HQ had repeatedly warned Zhou Hongguang that these documents
were sensitive (for they may put some people at home at risk) and
therefore should never be leaked out without proper
authorization. Zhou repeatedly lied to the HQ that they were
strictly within the range of the three-member Inspection Team.
Thus the HQ was not informed of such disclosure until the moment
when Bai Yan arrived at the HQ with the Inspection Team,
demanding on looking at the original documents. Mr. Bai claimed
that he had access to the copies of these documents from the very
beginning. When questions were raised on the spot, the HQ and
Supervisory Committee Chair were told by the Team that Bai Yan
has the full authorization by the council. However, in second
council tele-conference, Council Chair Dong Liqun declared that
he had known nothing about such disclosure or Bai Yan's
authorization beforehand. 

Zhou Hongguang's disclosure of aforementioned internal documents
to Bai Yan without proper authorization is imprudent,
irresponsible and disappointing. It is regrettable that Zhou, as
a legislative member of the council, has violated the IFCSS
Financial Regulations established by the council itself. Zhou
Hongguang's deliberate and repeated lying to the HQ is dishonest
and beyond comprehension.

The council is the legislative organ of the IFCSS, and therefore
it is all the more important that its members must abide by
rules. Unfortunately, some of its members showed little respect
of the regulations set by the council itself. To prevent similar
violations in the future and to restore the dignity of the IFCSS
by-laws and regulations, the HQ requests 
that the Supervisory Committee investigate and resolve 
     1.   Mr. Zhou Hongguang's usurpation of the Council's name
regarding Bai Yan's authorization when the HQ and Supervisory
Committee Chair questioned Bai Yan's authorization;
     2.   Mr. Zhou Hongguang's disclosure of IFCSS internal
documents to Bai Yan without any authorization or written
request; 
     3.   Mr. Zhou Hongguang's repeated and deliberate lying
about the disclosure until Bai Yan arrived at the HQ with the
Inspection Team;
     4.   The personal responsiblity for the Memo dated November
6, 1993, which usurped the name of the council to give
authorization to Bai Yan when in fact such authorization had
never been adopted by the council.*

*Council chair Dong Liqun declared during the second Council
Tele-conference that he had no prior knowledge of such
authorization.

Subj:  The Inspection Team Is in DC  


The Council Inspection Team of 4 members have been in DC to inspect
the IFCSS HQ's accounting and property records. 

Besides Council members Mr Liu Chen, Mr. Qi Bing, and Mr. Zhou Hongguang,
the Council has invited Mr. Bai Yan of Texas to join the team to provide
some technical help to the financial matters. 

It is pitiful that the HQ had not been informed of the Inspection Team 
composition in advance. We are sorry if that caused any inconvennience to
the process of the inspection. 

The council is grateful that Mr. Bai Yan volunteers his time and expertise
to help the cause of IFCSS. While his coming to the HQ as one of the
team members, as authorized by the Council, is in compliance with the
IFCSS Financial Regulation (see article 11), we hope he will be given the
proper privilege the inspection team members are entitled. 

Your continuing cooperation will be highly appreciated.

Subj:   Quick Provision of Financial Information
Date: December 18, 1993
 
It has been 6 weeks since the Inspection Team issued a memo to you on November
7, 1993 with respect to the provision of necessary financial information.
Apparently you have chosen to ignore its attempts of goodwill to secure
information from you, and you have failed to meet your commitments regarding
that memo. Please bear in mind that the memo dated November 7, 1993 required
you to provide information, rather than asked you to merely indicate whether
you had information or not.
 
The information the Inspection Team wants for this time still derives from the
memo, which is listed as follows. Again, we suggest you to act at once. Please
remember that requests for further information will be made from time to time,
and any information obtained will be used for the objectives of the IFCSS's
financial improvement.
 
The following information should be sent to Mr. Zhou Hongguang, the coordinator
of the Finance Committee no later than December 31, 1993, Friday.
 
1. Copies of each Form 990, including the one for the last fiscal year.
   If any "unrelated business" is involved, copies of Form 990 (T) must be
   provided. If the current Form 990 misses the due date for IRS, information
   on the amount of penalty of late charge is needed.
 
2. Copies of all registration documents pertaining to tax-exempt status and
   not-for-profit activities, including 501 (c) (3).
 
3. A statement of IFCSS's total value, including current and noncurrent assets.
 
4. Copies of all original invoices and receipts for CSPA and 5th Congress.

completing the review of the financial records of 4th IFCSS HQ and the 
up to date records of the 5th term, including fixed asset list; 

1.2	To further gather information needed for putting forwarding  
amendments to the financial regulations governing the operation of IFCSS 
(to amend the existing Financial Regulations is one of the major goal of 
the 5th IFCSS Council Finance Committee's work);

1.3	To provide a basis for further certified public auditing by a CPA.

2. Parties involved:
	
2.1	IFCSS Council Financial Inspection Team: Qi Bing, Liu Cheng, Bai 
Yan, Zhou Hongguang 

2.2	HQ: 	President and Treasurer of the 4th term
		President and Treasurer of the 5th term

3. Time and Place

3.1	Time is essence. Because all members of the IT are full-time 
students and the only time they are available before summer is winter 
break, the days between the Christmas and News Years' holidays would be 
the only best slot accommodating the schedule of semester closing and 
beginning of the IT members. Though this period of time is a family-
union time, IT thinks it has to carry out its responsibility. 

3.2 	Time: 12/28-12/31/93, and after the New Year's Day if necessary

3.3	Place: IFCSS HQ Office, Washington, D.C.

4. Responsibility of the HQ

4.1	The HQ are urged to follow the memo sent to Ms. Jiang Zuihong on 
Decmber 18, 1993 by the Council Financial Committee (Appendix 1) to 
prepare material that required;

4.2	The HQ should follow the Financial Regulations to provide full 
assistance, access to the site and all possible conveniences to IT as to 
the reviewing the financial and fixed assets situations at the  HQ;

4.3	The HQ should inform Mr. Geng Xiao of his presence at the HQ at 
aforesaid dates.

5. Support for and cooperation in the site examination

5.1	Financial inspection is one of the major checking-and-balancing 
mechanism IFCSS possesses. Support for and cooperation in the inspection 
work from the Council, HQ and general public is essential for smoothly 
conducting such business.

6. Others

6.1	In case that the situations arise that is not anticipated in the 
above, the parties involved should consult with each other and solve 
the differences according to the IFCSS Constitution and Bylaws and 
resolutions.

6.2	Questions: please contact Zhou Hongguang, Coordinator of IT.

Thank you for your kind attention.

(Quick Provision of Financial Information)

From: The Finance Committee, IFCSS (signed by: Zhou Hongguang)
Subj:   Quick Provision of Financial Information
Date: December 18, 1993
 
It has been 6 weeks since the Inspection Team issued a memo to you on 
November 7, 1993 with respect to the provision of necessary financial 
information. Apparently you have chosen to ignore its attempts of 
goodwill to secure information from you, and you have failed to meet 
your commitments regarding that memo. Please bear in mind that the memo 
dated November 7, 1993 required you to provide information, rather than 
asked you to merely indicate whether you had information or not.
 
The information the Inspection Team wants for this time still derives 
from the memo, which is listed as follows. Again, we suggest you to act 
at once. Please remember that requests for further information will be 
made from time to time, and any information obtained will be used for 
the objectives of the IFCSS's financial improvement.
 
The following information should be sent to Mr. Zhou Hongguang, the 
coordinator of the Finance Committee no later than December 31, 1993, 
Friday.
 
1. Copies of each Form 990, including the one for the last fiscal year.
   If any "unrelated business" is involved, copies of Form 990 (T) must 
be provided. If the current Form 990 misses the due date for IRS, 
information on the amount of penalty of late charge is needed.
 
2. Copies of all registration documents pertaining to tax-exempt status 
and not-for-profit activities, including 501 (c) (3).
 
3. A statement of IFCSS's total value, including current and noncurrent 
assets.

Dear Colleagues,

Good to see Zhou Hongguang back to his normal work.
My function on behalf of him ceases right away.

Although there is different opinion, as we have seen, which I view it
is completely normal, I have been faithfully carrying out the duty
entrusted to by Hongguang, and entitled on me as a Council member.

What I have done is mainly to provide more updated information to my
colleagues in the Council of the Finance Committee's recent works.
I believe more communications among the Council members, and between the
Council and other functioning branches of IFCSS, will better serve IFCSS.
For that, I'll continue my effort.


Happy holidays!

Memo on Jiang Zuihong's Use of Public Fund

To: 5th IFCSS Council, HQ, SVC
Atten:JJiang Zuihong, the Treasurer, IFCSS HQ
From: The 5th IFCSS Council Finance Committee
Re: Jiang Zuihong's Use of Public Fund 

	During its on-site inspection (11/6-7/93), the Inspection Team found
that Jiang Zuihong, the treasurer, had written check(s) of public funds for 
her personal use. In the second 5th IFCSS Council tele-conference on November
20, 1993, Jiang Zuihong admitted this fact. Jiang Zuihong's use of public
fund for private financial benefit has been brought to the attention of
many concerned CSS members. Considering the seriousness of the matter, this
Committee thinks that Jiang Zuihong's conduct as described above should be
dealt with properly not only for the public concerns, but for supervising
her performance as measured against the Resolution on Appointment
of Treasurer (IFCSS Council Rusolution C3043): "The Treasurer shall: (a) have
charge and custody of and be responsible for all funds of IFCSS;".

	This Committee believes that the use of public funds by anyone of IFCSS
officials for personal purposes, by whatever means or in whatever names, is
a wrongdoing, ethically and legally. As a guardian of the public trust, this
Committee sees to it that public funds be solely used for the public interests,
and the related regulations be followed by the treasurer. With this in view,
this Committee deems it necessary for Jinag Zuihong to provide the information
pertinant to her conduct in that regard. This will enable the Finance Committee
to make a sound judgement from the viewpoint of financial management, though 
the case will be eventually handled by the IFCSS SVC for disciplenary
settlement.

 	You are kindly referred to the following questions. Please remember
that requests for further information will be made from time to time, and 
any information obtained will be used for the objectives of the IFCSS's
financial improvement.

	1. When did you write check(s)?
	2. What did you write check(s) for?
	3. How many checks have you written thus far?
	4. What is the total dollar amount for the check(s)
	   you have written?
	5. From which accounts did you withdraw funds?
	6. Have you repaid to the account you withdrew money from?
	7. Did you pay the right amount you owed?
	8. Have you any unpaid balance?

	Your replies with necessary evidences such as the copies of check(s)
should be sent to Mr. Zhou Hongguang, the coordinator of the Finance Committee.

From:     The IFCSS HQ
To:       The IFCSS Council
Subject:  Memo of Council Inspection Team dated 12/19/93

In the Memo dated December 19, 1993 signed by Zhou Hongguang, it
is indicated that another site inspection by Zhou Hongguang, Qi
Bing, Liu Chen, and Bai Yan will occur during 12/28-12/31/93 at
the HQ. The HQ considers the move inappropriate and therefore
will not receive the team at the HQ. The HQ would also like to
bring the following to your attention:

1.   There are disputes over the proper accounting formats and
procedures regarding standards in the CPA community. The previous
lack of professional perspective has given rise to many
misunderstandings and disagreements, which remain unresolved. The
HQ is taking steps to professionalize the IFCSS accounting system
by inviting external CPA to look into, recompile and reform the
IFCSS accounting system. The HQ thinks the current inspection by
the team would not help the professionalization.

2.   There are disputes over the authorization issue involved
with some member of the Team which is under review by the
Supervisory Committee. Until the issue is resolved, the HQ will
not accept further inspection by the Team.

Subj:     Accounting Inspection of Council Finance Sub-Committee

The HQ is pleased with the enthusiasm and sense of responsibility
of the Council's Finance Sub-Committee to cooperate with the HQ to
accomplish the IFCSS internal accounting inspection. To this date,
the HQ has sent out upon request the following documents
respectively to the three inspection team members:

A.   General Journal for every IFCSS account for the period from
7/1/92 to 6/30/93 and 7/1/93 to 9/17/93: 
     1)   IFCSS Foundation General Operating Account; 
     2)   IFCSS INC Account; 
     3)   CSS-Protection Account; 
     4)   NED Account; 
     5)   Insurance Return Account; 
     6)   June 4th Foundation Account.

B.   Bank Statements for all the aforementioned accounts for the
period from July 1992 to September 1993.

C.   Financial Report: 
     1)   Quarterly Report for the Fiscal Year 92-93; 
     2)   Annual Report for the Fiscal Year 92-93; 
     3)   Financial Report for IFCSS Newsletter; 
     4)   Financial Report for the IFCSS 5th Congress; 
     5)   Financial Report for CSPA Center; 
     6)   Financial Report for CSS-Protection Account; 
     7)   Financial Report for NED Grant; 
     8)   Financial Report for Insurance Return; 
     9)   Financial Report for June 4th Foundation. 
     Among these reports, the reports for CSS-Protection, NED
Grant, Insurance Return and June 4th Foundation cover both Fiscal
Year 92-93 and First Quarter of the Fiscal Year 93-94.

The HQ is unable however to respond to the request (memo dated 
October 26) by Zhou Hongguang (Inspection Team Coordinator) that
three copies of all registered checks be sent to the team. As these
checks would reveal the names of the numerous June 4th victims we
have helped, it is inappropriate for the HQ to distribute their
copies. The Inspection Team is well advised to examine the original
checks along with proper invoices and documents here at the HQ. The
Form 990 for 1992-3 is due on November 15, 1993 according to the US
law, and therefore has not been made. We will furnish you a copy
once we have prepared such Tax Form for 1992-3.

The HQ considers that the aforementioned documents are adequate and
thorough, and have met the need for the Inspection Team to
accomplish the task of internal accounting. The HQ therefore urges
the Team to proceed with the inspection without further delay.

To:       The IFCSS Council
Subject:  Memo of Council Inspection Team dated 12/19/93

In the Memo dated December 19, 1993 signed by Zhou Hongguang, it
is indicated that another site inspection by Zhou Hongguang, Qi
Bing, Liu Chen, and Bai Yan will occur during 12/28-12/31/93 at
the HQ. The HQ considers the move inappropriate and therefore
will not receive the team at the HQ. The HQ would also like to
bring the following to your attention:

1.   There are disputes over the proper accounting formats and
procedures regarding standards in the CPA community. The previous
lack of professional perspective has given rise to many
misunderstandings and disagreements, which remain unresolved. The
HQ is taking steps to professionalize the IFCSS accounting system
by inviting external CPA to look into, recompile and reform the
IFCSS accounting system. The HQ thinks the current inspection by
the team would not help the professionalization.

2.   There are disputes over the authorization issue involved
with some member of the Team which is under review by the
Supervisory Committee. Until the issue is resolved, the HQ will
not accept further inspection by the Team.

Dear colleagues,

I would like to call your attention to the on-going issue
related to Council's financial inspection of the HQ.

1. As a follow-up step, the on-site inspection announced by the
   Finance Committee is a very approriate, necessary move.

2. The finance committee has right, while conducting financial related
   business on behalf of the Council, to invite Bai Yan to the team,
   as long as the Council is informed.

3. The HQ's appeal against Zhou Hongguang should not become an obstacle
   for the Council's Finance Committee to conduct its work.
   The language used in the appeal construe personal attack against
   Mr. Zhou Hongguang, which is an unfortunate thing to see in the
   work of IFCSS.
   Again, some of the "fact" the HQ used in the appeal has be proved
   false.

4. Internal inspection could not be substituted by external CPA auditing.
   Internal insepction is not merely a dispute of "format", it should
   be viewed as a step forward towards improvement of IFCSS financial
   management. 

5. It is very inapproriate, if not illegal, for the HQ to go alone
   to invite outside CPA auditing. 
   Although we don't suspect any individuals' integrity, business
   is business. In regard of financial inspection, the HQ as the
   operational branch of IFCSS is in a status to be judged, to be
   inspected, and to be evaluated for its performance, it would
   be contradictory that the HQ invites and approves some CPA's
   to audit the HQ itself. 

All in all, I hope all parties involved in this matter to be cooperative
to each other to move IFCSS' financial management towards a positive
direction.

From: The 5th IFCSS Council Finance Committee
Re: Jiang Zuihong's Use of Public Fund 

	During its on-site inspection (11/6-7/93), the Inspection Team found
that Jiang Zuihong, the treasurer, had written check(s) of public funds for 
her personal use. In the second 5th IFCSS Council tele-conference on November
20, 1993, Jiang Zuihong admitted this fact. Jiang Zuihong's use of public
fund for private financial benefit has been brought to the attention of
many concerned CSS members. Considering the seriousness of the matter, this
Committee thinks that Jiang Zuihong's conduct as described above should be
dealt with properly not only for the public concerns, but for supervising
her performance as measured against the Resolution on Appointment
of Treasurer (IFCSS Council Rusolution C3043): "The Treasurer shall: (a) have
charge and custody of and be responsible for all funds of IFCSS;".

	This Committee believes that the use of public funds by anyone of IFCSS
officials for personal purposes, by whatever means or in whatever names, is
a wrongdoing, ethically and legally. As a guardian of the public trust, this
Committee sees to it that public funds be solely used for the public interests,
and the related regulations be followed by the treasurer. With this in view,
this Committee deems it necessary for Jinag Zuihong to provide the information
pertinant to her conduct in that regard. This will enable the Finance Committee
to make a sound judgement from the viewpoint of financial management, though 
the case will be eventually handled by the IFCSS SVC for disciplenary
settlement.

 	You are kindly referred to the following questions. Please remember
that requests for further information will be made from time to time, and 
any information obtained will be used for the objectives of the IFCSS's

This is not "somthing" happenining between the Finance Inspection Team
(IT) and the HQ. The "something" happening in essence is between the
Council, the legislature or the Board of Trusts/Directors of IFCSS (in
referrance with the Maryland Corporation Law unde which the IFCSS is
registered and operates) and its executive branch. The IT has been set up
by the Resolution adpoted by the Council and acts on the behalf of the
Council. It executes the Resolution. What happening is that an executive
branch of an organization does not comply with a Resolution of the Board
of Direstors and challenges the authority of its superivisors. According
to the IFCSS By-Law Article V, (20), the responsibility of the preisdent of
IFCSS, the head of the excutive branch of IFCSS, includes "2. to carry out
the Resolutions adpoted by the Congress and/or the Council."

If you think that both two sides want to "emotionalize", you are fooled.
What the HQ wants to see is to emotionalize the whole issue in order to
shift public attention to the financial situation at HQ itself. They use
illigitimate and undecent means to break the normal proceeding of the
2nd Council Teleconference and threw the whole meeting into a chaos. Then
the HQ continues its efforts to discredit the IT, including fabricating
story, such as even "Dong Liqun did not have prior knowledge of ..." ;
very low and disgusting personal attack of IT members. Another step to
"personalize and emotinalize' the issue to confuse public attention.
What's the motives behind it?  Do you know? I don't know.

Council is not the boss. Both council and HQ are elected by the general
asembly, which is THE boss. The council is just a legislation part.
Hence, the council can only shown its power by setting necessary rules and
regulation of IFCSS.
I regret to see any acusasion of "motivation" and "misuse of fund" before
a whole and complete conclusion been reached.
I especially regret to see both side (IT and HQ) sending internal mail to
vc net. For those who want to know how council operates should
subscribe the council-l and be aware that most material sent to council-l
is still on-going processes and immature.

Play the rule, not emotion.

I see both Hongguang and Chen Dong have their points, but the problem is
not as simple as either describes.

Internally, IFCSS is constructed in analogy to US government, the Council,
the HQ, and the SVC are three branches supposedly check-and-balanc-ing
each other.  Whether this idea was great or not, it was the history.

Externally, IFCSS is registered in Maryland as more or less a company,
in which the Board of Directors is the ultimate superior body by law
(correct me if I am wrong).

So, one can argue to his own favor by taking the documents he/she needs.
There DOES exist conflict in the two sides. The only way out may be to
modified the IFCSS constitution and reconstruct it to be aligned with law.
However, that would be for the future.

For the current problem, if we assume the US law is superior to the IFCSS
constitution, then the Board of Directors (Council as internally called :-)
will win the case absolutely in the court of law.

In any sense, I don't think things have been up to the point that it
must be presented to the court. Even inside the structure of IFCSS,
I don't think the HQ has the right to refuse the financial inspectionof
the Council. The IFCSS president bears the obligation to carry out
the Council's resolution. The financial inspection has been conducted 
according to Council's resolution, and the proposed second trip is
a necessary follow-up.

Thanks for your reading.

CC:             IFCSS HQ
 
RE:             Unfounded Allegation by HQ Against Council Inspection Team
 
The IFCSS HQ in its memo on December 9, 1993 accused the Council
Financial Inspection Team of violating the Financial Regualtions on the
allegation of no proper authorization of Mr. Bai Yan as a member of the
Inspection Team and the lying by Zhou Hongguang to HQ about such an
authorization and the confidentiality of IFCSS financial records. The
basis of the HQ's accusations has so far been proved groudless and the
similar accusations raised within the council has also been refuted in
accordince of IFCSS BY-Law and Regulations at earlier time (For details
please refer to the Appendex 1 and 2).
 
The Finance Committee reaffirms that MR. Bai Yan has been as a member of
the Inspection Team by Zhou Hongguang, the coordinator of the Inspection
Term within the Resolution CR5020 and the Article 11 of IFCSS Financial
Regulations. And he acted accordingly.
 
Without any inquiry with the Finance Committee, the HQ allegation of
possible leakage of sensitive information reminds us of the claim of
catching spies within IFCSS in the past years. The sensitive documents
claimed by the HQ are actually the cashed checks payable to the 6.4
victims and their families in the their or their friends' REAL NAMES.
Almost all the registered checks were cleared through the Bank of China
in China and the transaction records are kept in the Bank and will be
kept until foreseeable future. And the IFCSS HQ has called and is still
calling for general public donation for the 6.4 victims. The Finance
Committee cannot see why this kind of information is sensitive and to
whom it is sensitive. Furthermore, as a non-profit organization
registered in the United States, IFCSS is required by the Maryland
Cooperation Law to open its financial situation to the general public.
 
In spite of the fact that Mr. Bai Yan has agreed to be bound by the
Agreement of Confidentiality when he was authorized as a member of the
Inspection Team, the HQ unfounded suspicion and the uninvited,
illegitimate and rude interrogation of Mr. Bai Yan by Mr. Lou Lishi, a
member of the Supervisory Committee, during the 2nd Council
Teleconference have brought the question of the legitimacy of IFCSS
which claims represents all Chinese students and scholars in the USA.
When Mr. Bai Yan, an ordinary Chinese student and PHD candidate in
Administration in Non-profit Organization, came forward to volunteer his
time and to contribute his knowledge and experiences for helping
improving the IFCSS financial management. What we should express to him
should be welcome and being delighted rather than suspicion and
questioning. Only in this way can IFCSS establishes its credibility and
attract more participation of CSS.
 
To lie is to make up a story to cover something or to cheat somebody in
order to cover facts by purpose. The mission of the Inspection Team is
to UNCOVER facts in the IFCSS HQ financial records and not to cover
something there. We have no reason to cover something in the IFCSS
financial records by lying what's-so-ever to the HQ as alleged. We are
accused of wrongdoing and lying for only thing-- we are looking for and
cover facts in the IFCSS financial records.
 
We are quite clear about our motivation for alleged mistaken actions is
to cover the facts in the IFCSS financial records in order to improve
the management. However, we have so far failed to understand why the HQ
made such false allegation against us.

be coming soon. Thanks for Qi Bing, Liu Chen, and Hongguang's hard work
and Bai Yan's help. Hopefully, we can complete the auditing soon.

Subject: On Several Currrent Issues
 
 
 
Dear Council colleagues:
 
    There are several critical points araised in the IFCSS nets. I think
all of us should put our attention on them. I'd like to hear from you
whatever through council-wn or council-i. The following are my oppinions:
 
 
----  On the IFCSS HQ Memo to SVC (Dec. 9, 1993; Subject:  The Violation of
Regulations by Some Council Members)
 
     It is written in the memo: "However, in second council
tele-conference, Council Chair Dong Liqun declared that he had known
nothing about such disclosure or Bai Yan's authorization beforehand."
 
     I think it is mis-stated somewhat. The fact is that I was informed
that Mr. Ban Yan would join the inspection team few days (2-3 days)
before the team left for D.C. What I said in the 2nd teleconference is
 
     "It is the Finanal Committee's authority to invite whoever
participates in the team. It is not my responsibility to approve such an
invitation, and moreover, I don't have such a right to do so. But it is
not appropriate that the team, the Committee, and I did not inform it to
all other council members and the HQ beforehand."

I agree with Chen Dong's ponit. Even we assume the US law is superior to IFCSS
constitution and IFCSS registered as an US company, the board of directers
(or council) should follow the BYLAW (constition) of IFCSS, not follow the bylaw
of other US companys. Even the case put on the US court, the the IFCSS bylaw
will play the same role, becouse when IFCSS registered in the State the BYLAW
is the basic legal document for IFCSS. If the bylaw is not against US law,
the council and HQ should defined by IFCSS BYLAW, not by other US companys'
regulation.

Council member Zhou Hongguang will visit the HQ in DC to exchange 
views and ideas with the IFCSS president and HQ staff members.

Zhou Hongguang is a member of the Council Finance Committee and the
coordinator of the Council Financial Inspection Team. His trip to the
HQ is on behalf of the Finance Committee.

I suppose all my colleagues in the Council are aware of the current
difficult situation the Council is facing: the Inspection Team has
conducted one on-site inspection of the HQ and has not been able to
gain a complete assessment of IFCSS' financial situation. After the
Inspection Team announced its plan of second on-site trip to DC,
the HQ has openly stated that the Team will not be received by the HQ.

Although the HQ, as the executive branch of IFCSS, has no right to
refuse the inspection by the Council (which is by the Council's
resolution) financial inspection team, the team could not force the HQ
offiers to "receive" them anyway.

Let's hope Zhou Hongguang's trip will bring about some positive
result after discussing with HQ members about the problem thoroughly,
and make things move forward again.


Holiday Greetings!

Chen Dong and other colleagues:

Zhou Hongguang is on behalf of the Finance Committee.
The Finance Committee considers such a trip is necessary. 
The Council Chair is making arrangement between the IFCSS president
and the Finance Committee.

Zhou Hongguang called me last night, and he asked me to pass his words 
to the colleagues in the Council: As the financial matters of IFCSS
are important and not easy to handle, the Finance Committee needs 
everyone in the Council and in the CSS community to be concerned of
issue. The Finance Committee calls on everyone to kindly share his/her
views and ideas about this matter with the members of the Committee.

Especially the Council members, please think positively about the
financial situation of IFCSS and make your constructive ideas known
to the Council, the Finance Committee, or any one invovled in the
work.


Yungui Ding

PS:  My own words :-)
     I believe direct, positive communication and cooperation will
     be good for the current situation. Considering that all the 
     Council members and other volunteers involved in the financial
     inspection are VOLUNTEERS, the Christmas break may be the only
     good period left of our term that the financial team can spare
     some time to make a trip to DC. It is very frustrating and 
     unfortunate that the inspection plan could not be realized.
     I am really not sure at this point how much this term of Council
     will be able to do. I appreciate very much the enthusiasm of 
     Hongguang and other members of the team, and I only hope Hongguang
     's trip to DC and his meeting with Lin Changsheng will make a good
     positive impact to the issue. I also hope others could give the
     team more suggestions and support.
