The Theory And Practice Of Public Enterprise Information Disclosure

According to Article 55 of the Regulations on the Disclosure of Government Information,public enterprises have become the subject of information disclosure because they perform public duties,but they have obvious specialities at the theoretical and practical levels compared with the relevant information disclosure obligations.Public utilities themselves have the characteristics of limited profitability,a certain range of monopoly and special relationship with the government,while public enterprise information has direct correlation with the public interest.Through the comparison of public enterprise information disclosure with government information disclosure,public institution information disclosure,and general enterprise information disclosure,it is found that public enterprise information disclosure has particularities in terms of legal basis,disclosure scope,and relief channels.Public enterprise information disclosure is of great significance to satisfy citizens’ right to know,implement universal service principles,protect public economic interests and promote government information supervision,and proves the legitimacy of public enterprise information disclosure.The practice investigation and comparative analysis of public enterprise information disclosure found that public enterprises have problems such as insufficient legal basis for information disclosure,inadequate government regulation,and lack of interest group organization,which need to be dealt with from the aspects of legislation,supervision,relief and social supervision.Along with the development of the privatization trend of public enterprises,public enterprises bear more and more important public service functions,and the products or services they provide are related to people’s vital interests.Therefore,the improvement of public enterprise information disclosure system is of great significance for safeguarding public interests and protecting citizens’ rights.
