State President welcomes heads of delegations to ASOSAI 14​, Ha Noi, September 19, 2018

At the reception, President Quang welcomed foreign delegations to Ha Noi for the event, which also coincides with the 40th anniversary of the ASOSAI Charter.

He spoke highly of the development of ASOSAI, which has developed from 11 initial members to 46 members over the last 40 years and become one of seven regional organisations of the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI).

Mr. Quang affirmed high regard for the increasingly important role of the Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) in stimulating the sustainable development of regional nations.

According to the State leader, in Viet Nam, the SAV has made major contributions to the public finance examining and monitoring system. Its legal status is clearly regulated in the 2013 Constitution and in line with the Lima Declaration of INTOSAI. The SAV has proved useful in helping the National Assembly to supervise the management and use of the budget and public asset.

President Quang used the occasion to urge INTOSAI, ASOSAI, and member agencies to advance cooperation in order to carry out initiatives and solutions towards stable and sustainable public finance, to step up efforts for the fulfillment of sustainable development goals, and to promote initiatives on environmental auditing.

The President also thanked ASOSAI for entrusting to the State Audit of Vietnam (SAV) with a task of hosting of the 14th Assembly and the chairmanship of ASOSAI for the 2018-2021 term. 

President Quang wished ASOSAI 14 and the 7th symposium on environmental auditing for sustainable development a great success.

ASOSAI 14 is taking place in Ha Noi from September 19-22 under the theme “Environmental Audit for Sustainable Development”, and has attracted 46 supreme audit agencies in Asia and 15 international organisations.
