Sixty representatives from the National Audit Office (CNAO) are currently working as part of the United Nations Board of Auditors, the country's top auditor said yesterday.
"This shows China is capable of contributing to the building of the United Nations and joining in its business affairs," Liu Jiayi, auditor-general of the CNAO said yesterday.
On July 1, the CNAO took for the first time its seat on the UN Board of Auditors. The term will last for six years.
"It also shows China, with its constant improvement of democratic and legislative causes, has won recognition from the international community for its auditing capacity," he said yesterday in Beijing.
The 60 representatives are currently working on nine UN auditing programs, including auditing the UN peace missions in Libya and Sudan, and the expenditure of the United Nations Children's Fund, he said.
The tasks are very demanding and need proficiency, as the peace mission alone has taken up about half of the annual UN budget, Liu said.
