Vietnam proposes increased cooperation in environmental auditing

Vietnam’s Auditor General Ho Duc Phoc said Vietnam attaches importance to environmental protection and sustainable development in its socio-economic development policies and strategies. Vietnam has focused its resources on environmental auditing to ensure the enforcement of Government policies on environmental protection.

Nguyen Quang Thanh, representing the Vietnam SAI, introduced measures to improve environmental auditing: “It’s necessary to promote cooperation and information sharing within ASOSAI, develop an ASOSAI portal which will serve as a forum where SAI members can  share their concerns in order to improve their work. We also need to boost cooperation in capacity building to improve our professionalism, organizational capacity and response ability. To do this, we should perform joint environmental and sustainable development auditing.”
