Audit Office conference the first to go live online

The National Audit Office on Sunday became the first central government department to broadcast its Party committee's conference live online.

The conference, held at the Office's training center in the northern Beijing suburb of Huairou, was broadcast on cpc.people.com.cn.

The move came after Hu Jintao, then-Party chief, said at the opening of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on Nov 8 that Party organizations should become more transparent to the public and be supervised by the people.
