审计署关于加强和改进对地方审计工作指导的意见
审计机关成立二十五年来,地方各级审计机关按照宪法和审计法的规定,围绕当地党委和政府工作中心,认真履行审计监督职责,不断提高审计质量和工作水平,有力地促进了地方政治、经济和社会发展。为了贯彻落实《审计署2008至2012年审计工作发展规划》的要求,提升审计监督的整体效能,推动审计事业全面、协调、可持续发展,充分发挥审计保障国家经济社会健康运行的“免疫系统”功能,根据审计法的有关规定,现就审计署进一步加强和改进对地方审计工作指导提出以下意见:
一、建立重要情况通报制度。及时向省级审计机关传达党中央、国务院及其领导同志对审计工作的重要指示,通报政治经济形势及审计工作指导思想、重大审计项目的组织实施、重要法规制度、重要审计情况等,促进地方审计机关及时了解把握国家大政方针和审计工作发展全局,增强宏观意识和大局意识,围绕地方经济工作中心,确定自身工作思路和重点,深入开展审计工作。(主要责任单位:办公厅)
二、继续实行署领导分片联系点和调研制度。署党组每年要作出计划,确定指导和调研的重点;署领导要确定重点联系省份,坚持深入基层开展定点调研,通报审计署重要审计信息,及时了解地方审计机关重要情况和主要困难,解决具体问题,分类进行指导;推进有关审计工作方针政策和审计业务规范的贯彻落实,总结和推广基层好的经验,带动面上工作;每次调研,要写出有指导性的调研报告。(主要责任单位:办公厅)
三、加强审计法律规范建设的协调指导。加强调查研究,总结地方审计立法经验,指导地方因地制宜开展审计立法工作。加强审计法律、法规的宣传和普及工作,推动地方审计机关认真贯彻审计法、审计法实施条例及国家审计准则;定期组织对地方审计机关执行审计准则情况进行调研,及时掌握情况,总结经验,以促进提高审计业务质量;有计划地组织对地方审计机关审计项目质量进行检查,推动省级审计机关开展本级和下一级审计机关审计项目质量检查工作;进一步规范地方优秀审计项目评选工作,完善评选办法和评分标准,适当扩大地方优秀和表彰审计项目数量,加强对优秀审计项目的总结、点评和宣传推广,注重发挥其典型示范效应。(主要责任单位:法规司)
四、加强计划指导,促进整合审计力量。每年年底审计署制定下一年度审计工作指导意见,提出下一年度审计重点,供地方审计机关制定项目计划时参考;审计署安排年度审计项目计划时,要加强与地方审计机关的沟通协调;加强对地方审计机关审计计划管理工作的指导,及时总结交流经验,促进提高计划管理水平;整合全国审计资源,按照自愿参加的原则,适当安排和组织地方审计机关参与署统一组织的审计或专项审计调查项目,注重从审计思路上加以引导,注重从宏观层面揭示和反映共性问题,并及时总结推广好的审计经验和做法;严格控制统一组织项目的审计质量,抓好审前调查、审计方案、审计取证、审计工作底稿、审计报告、审计处理、审计整改等关键环节的具体指导,加强督促检查。(主要责任单位:办公厅、各业务司)
五、加强和改进审计业务授权管理。在总结审计业务授权管理工作经验的基础上,制订《审计署管辖范围内审计事项授权地方审计机关审计管理办法》;要从有效利用审计资源和有利于加强审计监督出发,科学确定年度授权审计项目计划,每年组织地方审计机关实施行业性授权审计,注意上下结合,重点解决一些带有普遍性、倾向性的问题;地方审计机关要及时向审计署报告授权审计结果,审计署每年组织对授权审计项目计划执行情况、项目实施质量、审计成果等进行抽查考核,并通报抽查考核结果。(主要责任单位:办公厅、有关业务司)
六、加强经验总结推广。审计署各司局要结合自身业务特点,有针对性地加强对地方审计机关对口部门的业务指导和交流;要加强调研,注意研究发现新情况、新问题,通过不定期举办审计专业培训班和专题研讨班等方式,研究新课题,推广好的经验和做法,促进提升业务层次和水平;统一组织或指导开展项目审计或专项审计调查,适时提出指导意见,对地方审计机关提出的业务问题,要及时研究答复;逐步研究制定专项审计操作指南,编发典型审计案例,发挥示范、带动和规范作用;要把指导情况纳入司局年度工作考核。(主要责任单位:各业务司)
七、加大对地方审计人员的培训力度。研究制定地方审计机关在职人员培训考核办法,强化职业培训和考试,提高审计人员的职业胜任能力。五年内对省级审计机关厅局级领导干部、正处长和市县级审计机关“一把手”轮训一遍。积极组织省级审计机关厅级领导干部开展专题研讨,加强对地(市)、县级审计机关“一把手”的培训,重点培训工作思路、审计管理等方面内容,促进提高依法行政和审计管理能力,有针对性地加大对省级审计机关正处长的专业培训力度,重点培训审计技术与方法、审计质量控制、计算机应用等方面内容,提高审计业务能力。采取送教上门的方式,派出师资,结合地方审计机关实际开展有针对性的专题培训;加强对地方培训工作的指导,采取代培代训、以审代训等方式,培养地方审计机关师资力量,建立师资信息库;充分发挥网络培训的优势,突出重点内容,扩大培训的覆盖面;加大计算机中级培训的力度,为有能力举办中级培训的省级审计机关进行师资培训,提供技术支持;有计划地加强对西部地区审计干部的培训,在培训教材、师资及培训费用等方面予以倾斜。(主要责任单位:人教司、培训中心)

九、推动加快信息化建设步伐。对全国审计机关金审工程建设实行统一规划,统一标准,分步实施。通过制发工程申报文档样本、编制审计信息化建设指导书、工程建设指导意见等,从审计信息化的组织领导、工程规划、项目实施及管理等方面,为地方提供指导;积极努力创造条件,帮助地方审计机关解决审计信息化建设中的实际困难和问题,特别对西部等困难地区省级审计机关予以重点支持;审计署开发的软件允许地方审计机关免费使用;每年要组织对应用计算机审计技术中发现的重大典型案例进行交流推广,促进提高审计人员的实际运用能力。(主要责任单位:信息办、计算中心)
