The State Audit Office of Vietnam was established in 1994. Since then the audit sector has steadily narrowed its development gap with the international audit community and has expanded cooperation.

Leaders of the State Audit Office of Vietnam have always considered external relations an important component of development. They have expanded cooperation with other supreme audit institutions and international organizations to learn best practices.
The State Audit Office of Vietnam joined the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions in 1996 and the Asian Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions in 1997. It was one of three founders of the ASEAN Supreme Audit Institutions in 2011. As an active member of the international audit community, the State Audit Office of Vietnam has hosted many successful events.
The 13th ASOSAI in 2015 selected the State Audit Office of Vietnam to organize its 14th conference in 2018. Auditor General Ho Duc Phoc said: “We’re proud that supreme audit institutions elected the State Audit Office of Vietnam as Chair of ASOSAI 2018-2021. We’ll lead ASOSAI members to effectively implement the organization’s plans for this Congress, reach unity and consensus, and share auditing experience.”
ASOSAI 14 a milestone in international integration for the State Audit of Vietnam
Being selected to host ASOSAI 14 is a major event in Vietnam’s international integration, which will raise its prestige regionally and globally. This will be an opportunity for comprehensive reform, staff building, and introducing Vietnam’s image to the world.
Deputy Foreign Minister Vu Hong Nam said: “Hosting ASOSAI 14 in Hanoi is a major part of the State Audit Office of Vietnam’s Development Strategy until 2020. It will strengthen Vietnam’s connection with the world in management and public finance oversight.”
The State Audit Office of Vietnam will be a member of the ASOSAI Executive Board for three consecutive terms from 2015 to 2024 and will be the ASOSAI Chair for the 2018-2021 term.
