| Scientific research is one of the three basic functions of universities. As an important part of scientific management, internal audit exposed universities research funding out of the issue in recent years into sight, on the one hand the state and society into institutions of higher learning for research funding, climbing has reached historically unprecedented scale, on the other hand with the audit Commission audit issues for research funding exposure, supervision and management of research funding received attention from the multi-party society.
