NA leader praises State Audit Office's contributions to anti-corruption

HÀ NỘI — Chairman of the National Assembly (NA) Vương Đình Huệ made a new-year visit to the State Audit Office of Việt Nam (SAV) yesterday, the first working day after the week-long Lunar New Year holiday. The agency has maintained cooperation mechanisms with the state audit agencies of Laos and Cambodia and made essential contributions to the Asian Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (ASOSAI) and the ASEAN Supreme Audit Institutions (ASEANSAI). Pointing out that the most important thing is still the professional qualifications and ethics of each auditor, the NA Chair noted that the State Audit must always sharpen its two 'weapons': openness and transparency. He said he hopes that the SAV will have a more prestigious voice in the community of ASOSAI, ASEANSAI, and the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI). The NA chairman took the occasion to wish the staff of the agency good health, happiness, and success in the Year of the Cat.
