The comprehensive inventory of assets aims to promote the implementation of policies and laws on practicing thrift and combating waste, and to deploy the project for a comprehensive inventory of public assets.

This is a major political task to synthesize and assess the current state of public assets and the management and use of public assets.

A comprehensive inventory of public assets will be used as a criterion for evaluating task completion.

This will help to improve policies, laws, and the organization and management of public assets, serving the development of strategies, plans, and reports on assets, as well as the state's financial statements.

The comprehensive inventory of state assets has been carried out, but because this is a major task, being undertaken for the first time on a large scale nationwide and involving many different types of assets accumulated over various periods.

Meanwhile, the awareness of some Party committees, government agencies, and heads of organizations and units is still inadequate, and they have not been proactive or decisive in directing, managing, and organizing the implementation.

Therefore, to ensure the effective implementation of the general inventory of assets, the head of the Government requested that ministries, sectors, and localities that have not yet issued a general inventory plan or conducted training on its implementation issue and conduct training, report the results, and complete this before December 23rd.

Implement the comprehensive asset inventory project, fully complying with regulations and avoiding any delays. The results of the inventory will serve as the basis for evaluating the performance of agencies, organizations, and their leaders.

Units that excel should be promptly rewarded, while those that fail to meet targets should be criticized, reminded, and held accountable.

Strengthen the accounting, management, and use of public assets, ensuring a complete inventory of existing assets and accurate information on inventoried assets. Link asset inventory with saving and combating waste.

Handling assets used for improper purposes.

During the inventory process, if any assets are found to be unused, misused, or inefficiently used, they must be promptly addressed without waiting until the end of the general inventory, ensuring that public assets are used for their intended purpose, economically, and efficiently.

For ministries and agencies undergoing mergers, consolidations, divisions, cessation of operations, or transfer of functions and tasks to other agencies during the streamlining of the organizational structure, they must still carry out the task of conducting a comprehensive inventory and handing over the work that has been and is being implemented.

Following mergers, consolidations, divisions, and the transfer of functions and responsibilities, the units are responsible for continuing to implement the remaining tasks, ensuring that the streamlining of the organizational structure and the reorganization of administrative units do not cause any disruption.

The Ministry of Finance will inspect the preparation and implementation of the general inventory by ministries, localities, and relevant agencies, and report the results. Particular attention will be paid to entities with large asset sizes and a large number of inventory units, complex assets, and slow implementation progress.

Regularly report to the Prime Minister and publicize through mass media, propose solutions and mechanisms, policies, build databases and organize management to promote results, improve the effectiveness and efficiency of managing, using and exploiting public assets, and report to competent authorities.
