1) ‘Reformation of legal system of the requirements’ included clarification of use of the fund, enactment of fund manager's duties, and supplementation of embezzlement and derediction of duties of accounts;
2) ‘Reformation of legal system of punishment regulation’ included crime of job secret, punishment of prevention of investigation, illegal conspiracy and financial loss, and expansion of the ones punished, control of legal sentence, and expansion of type of confiscation.
3) ‘Reformation of legal system of criminal procedure’ included supplementation of regulation of the report, permanent keeping of important s and making preservation period, and exclusion of application of statute of limitation.
