- During verifications, a people’s inspection board may request concerned organizations and individuals to provide necessary information and documents to serve the clarification of to-be-verified matters. After concluding a verification, a people’s inspection board shall report to the head of the state agency, public non-business unit or state enterprise on the verification result, and at the same time propose settlement measures.

- During verification, if detecting illegal acts which cause damage to the interests of the State, lawful rights and interests of cadres, civil servants, public employees or workers, which need to be promptly handled, a people’s inspection board shall make a record thereon and propose the head of the state agency, public non-business unit or state enterprise or competent agencies or organizations to settle them, and supervise the implementation of such proposal.

- Within 15 days after receiving a proposal, the head of the state agency, public non- business unit, state enterprise or a competent agency or organization shall consider and settle it and notify the settlement result to the people’s inspection board.

If the head of the superior agency, organization or unit declines to consider and settle its proposal, the people’s inspection board may propose other competent agencies, organizations or persons to consider and settle it and handle concerned persons.
