According to the Report, during the 13th Party Congress, the work of preventing and combating corruption, waste and negativity of the National Assembly, the agencies of the National Assembly, the Office of the National Assembly and the State Audit Office has had clear changes. The legal system in all fields, especially in socio-economic management, has been increasingly improved. The work of supervising and deciding on important issues of the country has been focused on by the National Assembly, contributing to gradually curbing and preventing corruption, waste and negativity in many fields.

The activities of the National Assembly, its agencies, the National Assembly Office, and the State Audit Office in preventing corruption, waste, and negativity continue to receive attention and focus. The State Audit Office has recommended handling of VND 239,795 billion in finances, including: increasing state budget revenue by VND 20,687 billion, reducing state budget expenditure by VND 86,772 billion; other recommendations of VND 132,336 billion.

However, in addition to the results, the work of preventing and combating corruption, waste and negativity in the Party Committee of the National Assembly still has limitations such as: the completion of legal institutions on preventing and combating corruption, waste and negativity has not fully met practical requirements. Supervisory activities in general, including supervision of the work of preventing and combating corruption, waste and negativity, are still limited and inadequate. Some emerging issues that cause public outrage have not been promptly supervised; the selection of supervision methods in some cases is not appropriate. The monitoring and urging of the implementation of resolutions, conclusions and recommendations has not been regular.../.
