Purpose and need for auditing standards in China:


[Fully paraphrased, not to worry] Quoting Dr. Wang Jun, who holds the post of chairman of The Chinese Auditing Standards Board also referred to as CASB and also serves as the Vice Minister to the Chinese Ministry of Finance; The fundamental principle of drafting the Chinese auditing standards is to continuously improve them, as well as achieve continuous and comprehensive convergence with international auditing standards in line with the development of Chinese market economy and the overall trend of economic globalization and international convergence. So the very purpose of China to implement standards is to not only ensure that they are a platform for countrys economic activity but serve as a basis for much future development. China can quite literally be dubbed as the largest and if not fastest developing country of our time and so by implementing the right kind of standards their business and economic systems will be seen a benchmark for many of the developing countries across the globe Additionally, China sees a lot of investment from overseas and locally to ensure their economic development and financial stability enforcing and creating a set of auditing standards is a logical response.
