"Construction progress, quality, safety and cost will top the audit agenda," Pan said.
Other NAO priorities in 2007 include the south to north water diversion project and major railway construction projects.
Auditors of the water diversion project will examine not only the construction of the project but also water pollution control.
The central government invests more than 50 billion yuan in railway construction every year, and vast bank loans are required. The NAO will audit the management of the investment, Pan added.
