Foreign-related audit refers to the examination conducted by auditing authorities in accordance with laws, regulations, and policies to assess the implementation of major national policies in areas related to foreign affairs. This includes assessing the overseas investments, operations, and management of state-owned assets of the enterprises and financial institutions that are state-owned or are controlled or dominated by state-owned assets as specified by the State Council, the financial receipts and payments of non-operational state entities stationed abroad, the aid and loan project of international organizations and foreign governments, the foreign aid funds, and the entrusted international organizations. Foreign-related audit constitutes a vital component of national auditing efforts, with the goal of advancing the strategy of opening up to the world, safeguarding national interests, ensuring the security of overseas state-owned assets, and supporting the nation's endeavors in international engagement and the "going global" strategy. It plays a proactive role in serving the country's openness, enhancing the quality of foreign investment utilization, maintaining the nation's reputation, and safeguarding its economic security.
