More than 40 audit experts and representatives from Cross-Straits, Hong Kong and Macao participated in the conference. The Commission of Audit of Macao Special Administrative Region (CA) was invited to send a delegation to attend and presented thematic papers.

The conference covered two themes: “Study on the audit’s role in promoting sustainable development” and “Improvement in professional skills of auditor”. During the conference, 14 representatives delivered thematic speeches and six representatives made comments on the topics. The discussion in the conference was lively and achieved fruitful results.

The Director of Audit Bureau, Neoh Hwai Beng, led three CA staff to attend the conference, in which they presented two papers, namely “Study on the audit’s role in sustainable development: introduction to the audit work of Macao SAR in promoting sustainable development” and “Reflection on the improvement of professional skills of auditor”.
