Abstract: Audit efficiency is the ratio of audit input and output, which isclosely related to the audit process. Audit process reflects the audit functions. Therefore, there is a correlation between government audit functions and efficiency. According to the data of local audit agencies, it is found that audit recommendations and audit sanctions and penalties both had positive impacts on the efficiency, while audit reveals had no significant effect on the efficiency. Therefore, what we should do are strengthening accountability, playing a deterrent effect of audit, enhancing audit rectification to accelerate the process of governance modernization.
