In the State budget settlement report, Minister Nguyen Van Thang said that by December 31, 2023, the balance of the central government's salary reform budget was VND 149,208 billion, of which the balance of ministries and branches was VND 70 billion; the salary reform balance of localities was VND 387,186 billion.
With this content, in the Audit Report on the State Budget Finalization in 2023, Mr. Ngo Van Tuan - State Auditor General said that the audit results showed that at ministries and central agencies, some public service units have not made provisions, and the provisions for salary reform sources have not ensured the ratio; have not decided on the proportion of revenue sources that must be set aside to create sources for salary reform; are not subject to provisions but still make provisions.
According to Mr. Tuan, some localities have not yet reviewed all resources when determining needs, leading to the fact that although the NSTW supplemented resources during the year, at the end of the year there is still a surplus of resources for salary reform.

In addition, 11/56 localities monitored and managed salary reform resources inappropriately, amounting to VND 3,715.52 billion; 18/56 localities used salary reform resources for investment, regular expenditure or other tasks not in accordance with regulations, amounting to VND 1,389.6 billion.
There are 6 localities whose salary reform sources by December 31, 2023 have been re-identified by the State Audit as higher than the number announced by the Ministry of Finance for appraisal.
“According to regulations, 70% of the increased local budget revenue must be used to create CCTL sources, however, the revenue estimates are not close to the actual capacity. This leads to high revenue increases, but mainly used for CCTL, lacking the spending source for other necessary and urgent spending tasks such as development investment, science and technology, innovation, etc., ” Mr. Tuan stated the reality.
