- The Study on the Auditing Theory of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics by the Auditor-General offers solid insights and guidance on auditing in China
- Authored by the Auditor-General of the National Audit Office of the People’s Republic of China
Companies who wish to obtain a better understanding of China’s
government audit system can now turn to the Study on the Auditing
Theory of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, which will be
launched at the upcoming Book Expo America (BEA) 2015 in New York.
Published by Wiley (the original Chinese edition was published by the
Commercial Press and the China Modern Economic Publishing House), the
book provides first-hand guidance and insights into government auditing
in China, as well as that of accounting firms (for example private
accounting firms) and internal auditing. Auditing in China plays a
significant role in promoting the sustainability of public finance and
improving national governance. The book covers nine aspects of China’s
socialist auditing theory: nature, functions, goals, features, methods,
management, framework of regulations and standards, IT application and
culture, covering the new concepts, methodologies, techniques, and
achievements of China’s government auditing.
In 2013, Professor Jiayi Liu, the Auditor-General of the National Audit
Office of the People’s Republic of China, and Chief Author of the book,
won the United Nations Peace Prize in recognition of his auditing work
for UN peacekeeping operations. He is also the current chairman of the
governing board of the International Organizations of Supreme Audit
Institutions.
In addition to Professor Liu, some of China’s most experienced auditors
within CNAO’s departments and institutions have contributed chapters to
the book. Professor Liu writes: “As a cornerstone and important
safeguard for national governance, government auditing is an ‘immune
system’ endogenous within the synthetical system of national governance,
with functions of precaution, revelation and defense.”
The launch of the book marks China’s growing influence and interest in
publishing. China is Guest of Honor at BEA’s Global Market Forum in May
2015. A high-ranking delegation of some 500 top publishing
professionals, internationally-acclaimed authors, as well as senior
government officials, will attend BEA.
“Wiley is excited to now include the Study on the Auditing Theory of
Socialism with Chinese Characteristics to our list of titles. Professor
Liu and his team have produced an excellent work that explains Chinese
auditing and how socialist theory has been woven into it. Auditors
worldwide can gain insight into the Chinese auditing methodology and
improve their own auditing procedures,” Said Sheck Cho,
Editor/Executive, Wiley.
