It has been four years since the government started asking publicly funded sports associations to submit financial statements, but few of them have made their financial situations transparent, NPP caucus whip Chiu Hsien-chih (邱顯智) said. From left, New Power Party caucus whip Chiu Hsien-chih, legislator Claire Wang and chairwoman and deputy caucus whip Chen Jiau-hua attend a news conference in Taipei yesterday. The financial reporting of some associations was substandard, as, for example, the tennis association’s statement does not explain some obscure items, Chiu said. NPP Legislator Claire Wang (王婉諭) called for a comprehensive review of a compensation program for athletes on national teams. The firm was run by Tsai Yi-fan (蔡逸凡), a son of Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee vice chairman Tsai Szu-chuen (蔡賜爵).
