The trainees of the National Audit Office returned as planned on March 13 on the completion of the one-year study mission in Canada. On the afternoon of March 14, the trainees briefed CNAO leaders and relevant departmental managers on their study in Canada. The training program in Canada attracted 20 trainees, who are the high quality staff shortlist through English proficiency tests from 14 audit institutions, their ages ranging from 28 to 43 .
This is the first time that CNAO sent auditors abroad for medium and long-term training program and an important strategy on cultivating high quality audit talents capable of international exchanges, to build up human resources of audit and implement the program on Development of Human Resources, Regulatory Framework and Technological Capability.
The top management of CNAO attaches great importance to this training program. Mr. Li Jinhua, Auditor General of CNAO once saw the trainees off in person and Mr. Liu Jiayi, Deputy Auditor General visited them in Canada to understand their life and study. The trainees studied in Malaspina University, BC, Canada on a dozen of subjects including English, accounting, statistics and business law etc.
. and during the second stage they were assigned to the Auditor General s Office of BC and 10 audit firms on internship. The trainees feel they have benefited a lot from last year s study. They overcame the language barrier to fit themselves into the environment. They did not only build up their ability of general listening, oral presentation, reading and writing in English, but also get familiar with technical English in accounting and auditing and laid a solid language foundation for future work.
Through class-room courses, they acquired theoretical knowledge about accounting, auditing, legal frame work and economics. During the internship period, they were able to apply the theoretical knowledge in practice and improved their understanding of economic operations and auditing techniques of Canada.
Meanwhile, they also put forward very constructive observations and recommendations on the Chinese audit practice, associating what they have learned abroad with their audit work in China. The trainees took every opportunity to introduce to Canadian colleagues on Chinese audit practices. They also made a lot of Canadian friends there, showed the true China to Canadian people and set up a true image of modern Chinese.
