When leading cadres declare property, they must comprehensively and accurately reflect the property status of the declarer and his family members. According to the previous regulations, the types and personnel of declaration are too narrow. For example, 1995 "Provisions on the Declaration of the Income of Leading Cadres at or above the County (Division) Level of Party and Government Organs" only emphasizes "personal income", which is easy for those who evade declaration to take advantage of it.

The new regulations emphasize that the scope of declared property should include movable and immovable property, creditor's rights and debts; The scope of declaration includes both leading cadres themselves.

It also includes the property of the close relatives (parents, parents-in-law, wife, children and other family members who live with them) of the property declarer, so as to prevent some officials from escaping monitoring by transferring illegal property to their parents and minor children.
