******************************************************************************************
     At the invitation of the National Audit Office of the People's Republic of China (CNAO), the Director of Audit, Professor Nelson Lam, in the company of Assistant Director of Audit Ms Flora Wan and Senior Auditor Mr Alex Lau, attended the 9th Meeting of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions Working Group on Big Data in Harbin as representatives of the People's Republic of China. During the trip, Professor Lam briefed the Auditor General of the CNAO, Mr Hou Kai, on the recent work of the Audit Commission (Audit).  

     Themed "Partnering for New Advancement in Auditing in the AI Era", the meeting was organised by the CNAO, chair of the said working group, and attended by over 60 representatives from 22 national supreme audit institutions of different countries and international audit organisations. During the meeting, representatives from various regions had comprehensive exchanges and discussions on issues such as AI and big data auditing, with a united aim to explore better ways to apply emerging technologies to audit work, which would promote audit efficiency and quality, and support the sector to navigate the ever-changing landscape of auditing.  
        
     Professor Lam thanked the CNAO for the numerous opportunities it offered, which allowed Audit personnel to take part in international audit events as national representatives. On this occasion, Audit personnel were able to gain up-to-date knowledge on the development of AI and big data auditing, engage in exchanges with industry experts from around the world, and get access to the latest audit technologies and practices. All these would drive Audit to grow with the times. He added that the highly authoritative International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions Working Group on Big Data, which is chaired by the CNAO, has been issuing series of guidelines, research reports and dissertation collections since its establishment nearly 10 years ago, providing solid support for the exchanges and co-operation in the realm of big data auditing among national supreme audit institutions of different regions. Professor Lam said he looked forward to continued opportunities for Audit personnel to contribute to the working group.  

     The 9th Meeting of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions Working Group on Big Data was held between September 1 and 3. Having taken part in the meeting sessions on the first two days, Professor Lam departed for Beijing in the afternoon of September 2 to attend the commemorative rally of the 80th Anniversary of Victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Ms Wan and Mr Lau, returned to Hong Kong on September 3 after concluding the visits and field studies on projects arranged by the organiser.
