The officials all agreed that this meeting’s theme conformsto the general development trend of the world and has special significance inthe context of the spread of COVID-19 in the region.

The Vietnamese Auditor General said that the exploitation ofaudit data through the IT system with supporting tools will help the audit ofbudget revenue not be limited by geographical distance, time and space.

The partnership among State audit agencies of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, initiated by the SAV, aims to build a long-term cooperation mechanism for higher efficiency of collaboration in State auditing activities, contributing to promoting the traditional ties among the three countries.

After 12 years, major targets of the partnership have been completed, including the promotion of traditional relations and enhancement of professional capacity of the three countries, helping raising the position of State Audits of the three countries in the region and creating a suitable playground for them to learn experience to join larger multilateral forums.

On June 1, 2009, the State audit agencies of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia signed a memorandum of understanding on the outcomes of talks among leaders of the three agencies in Hanoi. They agreed to strengthen the implementation of contents of the signed bilateral deals, while increasing the organisation of trainings, conferences, surveys, and experience exchange in building standards, procedures and method of auditing, and conducting joint programmes and projects.

They concurred to organise rotated talks to improve the efficiency of their cooperation activities, and propose the government of each side to consider their adding collaboration contents to inter-governmental cooperation programmes.

Since their partnership was set up, the three sides have maintained annual conferences in a rotation format to share their knowledge and experience in matters of common interest. This is a useful forum for all parties to enhance their professional capacity and reinforce their cooperation and friendship for common development.

In order to further lift up the coordination efficiencies among the three agencies, at the sixth tripartite conference held in Vientiane, Laos, from November 11-12, 2014, they agreed to hold the conference every two years instead of annually. Alongside, they also reached consensus of the changes in the organisation form of the event, dividing the event into two separate meetings, one on issues of shared concern in line with the conference’s theme, and the other gathering top leaders of the three agencies to reach agreements of discussed issues and evaluate outcomes of their cooperation in previous year and sketch out future cooperation orientations./.
