National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man noted that the development of the scope, subjects of audit and implementation of the 2026 audit plan must ensure compliance with legal provisions, focal points, subjects and methods, and scope of audit after mergers and reorganizations in many ministries, branches, central and local agencies, along with the conversion of the two-level local government system; the implementation of policies and regimes for cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers to clarify the effectiveness of management and use of the state budget and public finance.

Continue to coordinate to speed up the implementation of the conclusions and recommendations of the State Audit according to regulations; clarify subjective and objective causes and responsibilities of agencies, organizations and individuals if there is a delay in implementing recommendations.

In the Report on the above content, the Standing Committee of the Economic and Financial Committee requested the State Audit to supplement and more deeply assess the shortcomings and limitations in the implementation of work tasks, the 2025 audit plan, the quality of audit reports, the capacity of cadres, civil servants, and auditors; inspection work, handling of recommendations and complaints of audited subjects to continue monitoring and urging the implementation of the recommendations of the State Audit.

Through discussions at the meeting, many opinions suggested that the State Audit should continue to review audit subjects to avoid duplication with the Government Inspectorate and inspection and examination agencies; not organize too many audits in the same locality, especially localities that have just merged and are greatly affected by storms, floods and natural disasters. The selection of audited units must be close to reality and requirements.

Each locality shall not organize more than three thematic audits, audits of activities, construction investment fields, programs and projects. Regarding difficulties and obstacles in implementing audit conclusions and recommendations after the arrangement, consolidation and reorganization of administrative units of ministries, central agencies and localities, it is recommended that the State Audit proactively review and classify recommendations that are no longer appropriate, especially the need to amend legal documents and administrative documents that are no longer appropriate.
