SAV expects that the National Assembly will
continue to support SAV as a public external
audit agency, e.g. completing legal framework
for SAV operation by revising the State Audit Law
2015 in order to make SAV’s auditing activities
be more efficient and effective.
Q12. What are the proposals that can
be of benefit from the participation
in such international and regional
audit organizations in which you are a
member?
Entering into international and regional auditing
organizations has improved SAV’s image and
position worldwide. It also helps create a common
voice in professionalism and contribute to
capacity building, cooperation and development
for the benefit of participating SAIs and mutual
concerns of international community.
Vietnam has, as the current Chairman of ASOSAI,
been making its utmost effort to achieving
important agenda of ASOSAI community
by proposing several initiatives to enhance
ASOSAI’s activities. They include, but not
necessarily restricted to, the followings:
Concept Note to implement the Hanoi Declaration
The Hanoi Declaration, approved at the 14th
ASOSAI Assembly in Vietnam, reflects efforts
and recommendations of ASOSAI members in
implementing environmental audit for sustainable
development and auditing of SDGs towards
the UN Agenda by 2030. The Concept Note to
implement the Hanoi Declaration was officially
approved at the 54th ASOSAI Governing Board
Meeting held in July 2019 in Kuwait, which will
be incorporated into current ASOSAI Strategic
Plan and next periods to be implemented by the
ASOSAI Strategic Plan Management Task Force.
Proposal of Cooperative Environmental Audit
Program 2020-2021
In line with INTOSAI strategic goal for SAI’s
contributiontotheUNagenda2030forsustainable
development, the Hanoi Declaration including
strategic goal of environmental auditing for
sustainable development is among top priorities
of ASOSAI in the coming period. Therefore,
apart from building capacity for member SAIs
through the development of guidelines, training,
knowledge and experience sharing etc., ASOSAI
also focuses on conducting cooperative audits in
this area. So far, the Concept Note to implement
the Hanoi Declaration calls for the participation
of ASOSAI members in ASEAN in cooperative
audits in environmental field.
Proposal for improvement of the inclusiveness of
ASOSAI capacity development activities
SAV propose ASOSAI to improve a better
inclusiveness of capacity development for its
member SAIs; consider designing a series of
activities at different levels according to various
approaches which are appropriate for groups of
member SAIS with similar needs, requirements
and level of professionalism.
Q13. Evaluate the level of cooperation
and coordination with the State Audit
Bureau in Kuwait?
SAV and the State Audit Bureau of Kuwait (SAB)
signed the first bilateral Cooperation Agreement
in October 2009 on the sideline of the 11th
ASOSAI Assembly. The pact was to encourage
mutual cooperation and to share information and
experience in public audit fields between the two
SAIs. This Agreement is valid for a period of five
years.
In the cooperation process, SAV and SAB
have provided mutual support to the other side
in several multilateral forums and events. We
have exchanged certain high-ranking visits to
promote cooperation, too. It would be expected
that the bilateral ties and cooperation between
the two SAIs would be further concretized in the
coming years while continue to remain close
collaboration in multilateral events within the
framework of ASOSAI and INTOSAI.
