Abstract
Environmental problems in China are urgent so that resource and environmental auditing is becoming more and more important. The objectives of this study are to introduce spatial and emerging information technologies and its applications in resource and environmental auditing. We synthesized characteristics and advantages of GIS applications and auditing application cases, implemented by National Audit Office of P. R. China, Nanjing Branch and Wuhan Branch, from the practice perspective. In the future, spatial information technology combining with emerging information technologies, including Big Data, Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Augmented Reality (AR) Technique, large distributed and mobile network will improve the reliability of audit evidences and enhance the auditing conclusions and functions, especially resource and environmental auditing.
