The process of purchasing and delivering food is not carried out in accordance with the prescribed order. The actual quantity of food delivered and the actual payment amount is different.

In addition, the inspection team also confirmed that information about parents not receiving leftover food money from students has a basis; through verifying accounting documents, this amount is currently in the fund and has not been paid.
