On June 2, according to the Government Electronic Information Portal, regarding violations occurring at Phuc Son Group and Thuan An Group, Deputy State Auditor General Dang The Vinh said: Through reviewing the State Audit's auditing activities from 2020 to present, the State Audit has selected to audit a number of investment projects, including Phuc Son Group Joint Stock Company (Phuc Son Group) and Thuan An Group Joint Stock Company (Thuan An Group) implementing a number of bidding packages.
Based on the records and documents provided by the investor and the Project Management Board to the State Audit at the time of the audit, the State Audit pointed out a number of shortcomings in the project implementation and made recommendations for financial handling and responsibilities corresponding to the errors.
Notably, according to Mr. Dang The Vinh, in connection with the responsibility of audited enterprises and projects with violations, the recommendations for prosecution in the past need to be classified into two groups.
Firstly, the violations of Tan Hoang Minh and FLC are not subject to audit by the State Audit. The audit of the financial statements of the above enterprises is mainly performed by independent auditing companies.
The violations of Thuan An Group and Phuc Son Group are related to public investment projects, which are subject to audit by the State Audit, but are not audited entities under the State Audit Law. The audited entities are investors and project management boards.
Regarding the responsibility in auditing investment projects and enterprises, Mr. Dang The Vinh said that the State Audit has the function of evaluating, confirming, concluding and recommending.
Audit method based on records and documents provided by the audited unit and is responsible.
Meanwhile, sophisticated corruption and negative acts hidden behind investment activities and project documents are legalized, and violations are mostly only discovered through criminal investigations.
The State Audit has not yet discovered criminal acts in audit projects as the police investigation agency has discovered and prosecuted in the past.
On the other hand, up to now, the State Audit has no information about the responsibility of the State Auditor related to the cases.
According to Mr. Dang The Vinh, the State Audit is an agency with the function of evaluating, confirming, concluding and recommending on the management and use of public finance and public assets.
Auditing is a professional activity that is different from other inspection, examination and investigation activities.
According to Deputy State Auditor General Dang The Vinh, violations caused by subjects intentionally cheating, colluding to legalize documents, creating illegal documents, especially violations in organizing bidding and selecting contractors for projects, are very difficult to detect through auditing, and can only be detected through investigation.
The performance of the State Audit mainly focuses on the aspect of prevention, detection of violations and recommendations for handling increased revenue and reduced state budget expenditure, especially recommendations for perfecting policy mechanisms and rectifying the management and use of public finance and assets.
In case of detecting acts with signs of crime, the State Audit will make recommendations or transfer to the investigation agency for investigation, clarification and handling according to regulations.
