"Focus on the main responsibilities and main business, deepen reform and innovation, and strengthen self-construction." "Escort high-quality economic and social development with high-quality audit supervision." Recently, General Secretary Xi Jinping issued important instructions on audit work, fully affirming the active role played by audit institutions in promoting healthy economic development, safeguarding national economic security, revealing risks and hidden dangers, and promoting anti-corruption and social stability, and putting forward clear requirements for audit work.

Everyone said that General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions have pointed out the way forward and provided fundamental guidelines for doing well audit work in the new era. On the new journey, we should adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee over audit work, base ourselves on the position of economic supervision, build a "special forces", and strive to create a new situation in audit work and continuously achieve new results.

The National Audit Work Conference and the National Commendation Conference for Advanced Collectives and Advanced Workers of Audit Institutions were held in Beijing from January 10th to 11th. Wan Yinan, Director of the Fiscal Audit Division I of Chongqing Municipal Audit Bureau, as the representative of the advanced collective of national audit institutions receiving the award, was deeply inspired: "General Secretary's high trust and earnest expectations for audit work are still ringing in my ears and deeply engraved in my heart, further strengthening our confidence and strength to do our work well."

Since the establishment of the Central Audit Commission, under the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, China's audit system has achieved systematic and overall reconstruction, and has embarked on a new path of audit that conforms to China's national conditions. Audit work has achieved historic achievements and undergone historic changes.

Lin Hai, Deputy Director of the Policy Research Office of the National Audit Office, said that these achievements are the vivid practice of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in the field of audit, and are important achievements of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core in governing the country in the field of audit, fully demonstrating and verifying the truth power and practical great power of the Party's innovative theory.

In the first 11 months of 2024, more than 50,000 units and more than 19,000 leading cadres were audited across the country, promoting an increase in income and savings and recovering losses of more than 310 billion yuan; more than 20,000 rules and regulations were improved and perfected, and more than 10,000 major problem clues were found and transferred by various audits... Audit is playing an increasingly important role in promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.

"We should keep in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping's entrustment, take ensuring the implementation and effectiveness of the Party Central Committee's macro-control decision-making arrangements as the main line of work, and continuously carry out audits around promoting more proactive macro policies, improving the efficiency of government investment, promoting the development of new quality productive forces, enhancing regional development vitality, and effectively preventing and resolving risks in key areas, so as to better serve the overall situation of economic and social development." Lin Hai said.

Focusing on the main responsibility and main business of audit work, namely the authenticity, legality and effectiveness of financial revenues and expenditures, the problems of rural students' nutritious meals recently found by audits have attracted much attention. The audit rectification report shows that by the end of September 2024, the problems rectified in the audit of special funds for the rural compulsory education students' nutrition improvement plan involved 4.039 billion yuan of funds, 248 systems were improved, and 1,200 people were disciplined.

Xiao Yongjun, Director of the Education Bureau of Longhui County, Hunan Province, said that the problems revealed by audit institutions deeply exposed the shortcomings in the use of livelihood funds. "In accordance with General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions, we will continue to voluntarily accept audit supervision in accordance with the law, adhere to promoting reform through auditing, and manage and use the 'money bags' and 'account books' of the education system tightly and well."

Learning General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions, Jiang Chang, Deputy Director of Division I of the Financial Audit Bureau III of the National Audit Office, has a sincere feeling about "deepening reform and innovation": "In view of the complexity, variability and high risk of the financial field, we have innovated pre-audit investigations, selected representative financial enterprises for trial audits, and organized and implemented multi-round special audits of small and medium-sized financial institutions. In the future, we will further improve the level of audit informatization, deepen the coordination and cooperation among departments, efficiently lock in problem doubts, and firmly hold the bottom line of preventing systemic risks."

General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly required in the important instructions to "focus on building a centralized, unified, comprehensive, authoritative and efficient audit supervision system". Wang Dehua, a researcher at the National Academy of Economic Strategy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that to implement this requirement, it is necessary to continuously make efforts in strengthening the institutional foundation, closely following the major decision-making arrangements of the Party Central Committee, strengthening overall coordination and promoting as a whole, and other aspects, timely reflect the emerging, tendentious and common problems affecting economic security, and escort high-quality economic and social development with high-quality audit supervision.

The emphasis by General Secretary Xi Jinping on "continuously improving the quality and efficiency of audit supervision" is an important focus for further doing well audit work.

Ma Shanshan, Secretary of Nankai District Party Committee of Tianjin and Director of the District Audit Commission, said: "We will unswervingly promote the improvement, perfection, connection and coordination of all aspects of the system, discover problems early and handle them in a timely manner, and ensure the full implementation of all decision-making arrangements with powerful audit supervision."

Since the establishment of audit institutions more than 40 years ago, their self-construction has been continuously strengthened. Pei Wenhua, Director of the Resources and Environmental Protection Audit Division of Lanzhou Resident Office of the National Audit Office, who is the national advanced worker of audit institutions receiving the award this time, deeply understands the importance of "to forge iron, one must be strong oneself".

"We should always adhere to General Secretary Xi Jinping's requirement of'strengthening self-construction', build a solid foundation of ideals and beliefs, cultivate the realm and sentiment of serving the Party, the country and the people through auditing, and improve the ability to discover problems through strengthening professional learning and audit practice, so as to better forge the 'national audit' gold-lettered signboard."

Chang Zihao, a staff member of the National Audit Office who is currently carrying out work at the audit project site, said that he would continuously enhance his own capabilities, seek the truth, speak the truth, and report the facts in practical work, and make new contributions to promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese modernization.（Outlook New Era）
