Deputy Auditor General Ma Wenhui first conveyed greetings and best wishes from the Secretary General of ASOSAI and the Auditor General of the National Audit Office of China, Hou Kai, on the successful organization of the conference. He emphasized that digital technologies are a key factor in advancing audit to a new level.

According to him, in recent years the National Audit Office of China has placed special emphasis on strengthening audit capacity based on digital technologies, accelerating the adoption of modern audit methods and tools. In addition, digital transformation has contributed to improving audit efficiency and building a centralized, unified, and comprehensive audit supervision system.

The head of the Chinese delegation highly appreciated the initiative of the Accounts Chamber of the Republic of Uzbekistan in organizing this conference.

During the event, representatives from various countries exchanged views on such topical issues as digital transformation of audit, use of artificial intelligence, Big Data auditing, remote auditing and automated control, as well as cybersecurity and information protection.

According to him, the emergence of generative AI technologies such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek in the past two years has significantly boosted the use of AI across all sectors.

“If Big Data technologies enabled a shift from sample-based audits to full-scope auditing through data aggregation and analysis, then the application of artificial intelligence further deepens this process and will undoubtedly take public audit to a new stage of intellectual development,” he said.

In addition, Chinese experts noted that Supreme Audit Institutions under INTOSAI and ASOSAI, as well as various national audit bodies, have achieved significant progress in improving legal frameworks, building infrastructure, training personnel, and expanding international cooperation, creating a strong foundation for experience sharing.

At the conference, the Chinese delegation presented a detailed overview of its national practices, including:

the use of AI and digital tools in auditing to improve analysis quality, speed, and decision-making processes;

the application of Big Data and AI technologies to enhance audit effectiveness and strengthen its role in public governance.

It should be noted that this international conference was organized within the framework of the tasks set by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan to improve the state audit and financial control system.
