Statement of China at the Main Session of the Fifth
Committee of the 74th session of the UN General Assembly On
"Agenda Item 132: Financial Reports and Audited Financial
Statements and the Report of the Board of Auditors"
(November 11,2019, at 10 a.m Conference Room 3)
Mr. Chairman,
The Chinese delegation wishes to thank Mr. Peter Korn, Director of the
external audit and Chairman of the AOC (Audit Operations Committee), for
his presentation of the report, and Mr. Johannes Huisman, Director of the
Programme Planning and Budget Division from the DMSPC, and Mr Cihan
Tezi, Chairman of the ACABQ for their introduction. China attaches great
importance to the work of the BOA, aligns itself with the statement made by
the representative of Palestine on behalf of the "Group of 77 and China",
and wishes to add the following comments:
First, the BOA is the most important external audit oversight body of
the United Nations. Independent and efficient auditing is conducive to
improving transparency, compliance and accountability in the financial
management of the United Nations. The BOA's role is even more important
in the context of the current liquidity crisis facing the regular budget of the
1
UN. The Chinese delegation wishes to thank the members of the BOA,
Germany, India and Chile and its secretariat as well for their work.
Second, reasonable recommendations made by the BOA should be
effectively implemented. China takes note of the conclusions and
recommendations in the BOA's report, suggesting that as of December 31,
2018, the overall financial situation of the United Nations had been good.
China would like to have more details of the audit report on Umoja, internal
control of medical insurance expenditures, cost recovery, treasury
management, capital construction and the implementation of projects
concerning humanitarian affairs and so on. As to the recurring problems
identified in the audit process, the Secretariat should attach great importance
to them and take effective measures to address them.
Third, in its resolution 72/266B, the General Assembly stressed the key
role of oversight bodies, including the Board of Auditors , and called on the
Secretary-General to make use of their expertise and implement relevant
recommendations in the reform process. China would appreciate more
information about this.
The Chinese delegation will join other member states to actively
participate in the consultation on this item.
Thank you, Mr chairman.
