UN a core platform for promoting global governance

The members of the Board deliberated and approved 22 audit reports on the United Nations Secretariat and other entities for the fiscal year 2023, which will be submitted to the UN General Assembly and relevant entities respectively.

The Board members had a meeting with Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary-General. They discussed the key findings and audit recommendations in the UN audit for fiscal year 2023, as well as work priorities and challenges faced by the UN.

Guterres highly appreciated the significant role played by the Board in assisting the UN in improving management and governance, and strengthening accountability.

He fully recognized the audit findings and the recommendations in fiscal year 2023. He said that he would urge relevant entities to support the Board's work and actively implement audit recommendations.

Since taking office in the Board four years ago, Hou has worked closely with other members of the board in performing audit. Up to now, the Chinese auditors, strictly adhering to international auditing standards, have conducted more than 170 audit projects, such as the UN Secretariat, funds and programs, and missions of peacekeeping operation.
