The regulations governing the internal controls at domestic commercial banks have been in practice for two years now.

Protiviti Inc., an independent risk-control consulting firm, has jointly conducted a research project with Tsinghua University on the internal control procedures at the commercial banks in China. The project’s final report showed that two thirds of the respondents at banks verify data through random and human inspection, indicating the need to further strengthen internal mechanisms and control infrastructure.
