Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the need for high-quality audit-based oversight to ensure the country’s sustainable economic and social development.
Xi, who also serves as the general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made these comments in a recent directive on audit work, highlighting its significance as a vital component of the Party’s and the country’s oversight systems.
Over recent years, audit authorities have significantly contributed to the healthy growth of the economy, ensuring national economic security, identifying risks, and supporting the anti-corruption campaign, Xi noted.
Xi stressed the CPC Central Committee’s centralized and unified leadership over audit work, urging audit authorities to focus on their primary duties, foster reform and innovation, and enhance self-improvement. He also called for the creation of a comprehensive, authoritative, and efficient audit oversight system.
Xi’s directive was delivered by Wu Zhenglong, state councilor and secretary-general of the State Council, during the national audit work conference held in Beijing from Friday to Saturday.
At the conference, 80 audit institutions and 45 individuals were recognized for their outstanding contributions to audit work.
