A delegation of more than 50 members from the Chinese University of Hong Kong Alumni Association in Macau (CUAAM) visited the Commission of Audit (CA) last Friday. During the visit, they listened to a presentation of audit culture to understand the principles of approval and management of an audit project, the work of monitoring and improving good governance.
In the presentation, CA staff introduced the establishment of CA, its responsibilities, auditees, types of audit reports, effectiveness of audit work and statutory audit procedures. Both sides had a cordial exchange of views on relevant issues.
During the meeting, Ho Veng On pointed out that in view of the growing public concerns on the use of public funds and the performance of public departments, the demand on government audit has continually increased. Therefore, in recent years, CA has actively improved the quality of work by constructing the informatization and enhancing personnel training. Besides, the audit work strictly complies with professional rules, and each project is conducted in accordance with law to ensure the audit is impartial and fair. Through conducting audit and releasing audit reports, CA can monitor the performance of public departments and urge them to solve the problems and loopholes encountered in the performance of duties, with a view to making good use of public resources and improving public services, which are the targets that CA has persistently worked for.
On behalf of CUAAM, the President Chiu Ha expressed gratitude to CA staff for the detailed presentation. Through this activity, she hoped that members will learn more about audit supervision work and strengthen bilateral communication.
CA endeavors to promote audit culture and every year it gives lectures to newly recruited personnel of public administration and security forces staff during their work promotions. Moreover, CA also organizes promotion activities for associations and higher education institutions to introduce audit functions and promote the concept of good use of public resources.
