Accordingly, the constitution of the bureau’s leading team for publishing and preventing corruption was amended: the bureau leader in charge of Party affairs was appointed as the office director of the leading team, which was assumed by the head of the discipline inspection department of the bureau in the past; the personnel department would undertake daily work of the leading team, replacing the discipline inspection department that now is specially responsible for inspecting, supervising and assisting the implementation of various tasks .

Second, division of tasks has been clarified. The leading group proposed 20 measures to promote the work of punishing and preventing corruption, and assigned each task to specific departments and offices, which are required to carry out those tasks.
