(VOVworld) - Leaders of the state audit agencies of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia gathered at their sixth meeting in Vientiane, Laos, on Tuesday to share experience in the application of the International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAI).

The Vietnamese delegation was led by Dr. Doan Xuan Tien, Deputy Auditor General of the State Audit Office of Vietnam (SAV). At the event, participants discussed ISSAI contents and agreed to create auditing standards and implement the ISSAI in line with each country’s practice. The Vietnamese delegation shared eight lessons on the ISSAI application, stressing that enhancing the state audit capacity in applying ISSAI is a strategic breakthrough that reflects the SAV’s determination to improve its operations. Vietnam’s lessons were appreciated by Laos and Cambodia as well as other sponsors, especially in the context of integration towards an ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) by 2015. The next meeting will be held in Vietnam in 2015.
