The country will "strike precisely" on financial fraud and has "zero tolerance" toward accounting and auditing misconduct, said the General Office of the State Council in a guideline.

Inspections and supervision will be increased on accounting firms, according to the guideline.

Regulators will also conduct cross-border cooperation on supervision of accounting and auditing, aiming to safeguard China's economic and information security, said the guideline.
