Implementing the Coordination Regulations, every year, when developing the audit plan of Nghe An province, the State Audit Office and the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council - People's Committee have closely coordinated from the survey and information collection stages to ensure the quality of the audit planning work, thanks to which the audit plan of the State Audit Office has basically been consistent with the requirements of monitoring, management, use and budget operation in the province. During the local audit process, the State Audit Office's audit teams have regularly discussed with the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council - People's Committee about the audit progress and arising problems so that there can be timely coordination and handling.

Every year, after receiving the local budget audit report and documents from the State Audit Office on urging the implementation of audit recommendations, the Provincial People's Committee promptly organizes and directs the strict implementation of the conclusions and recommendations of the State Audit Office, and at the same time handles the existing problems and limitations according to the conclusions and recommendations of the State Audit Office according to its authority.

In particular, through local auditing activities, the State Audit Office has made many important recommendations to the Provincial People's Council and People's Committee to amend and supplement policies and mechanisms issued by Nghe An province that are no longer consistent with relevant regulations, and at the same time, coordinate with the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council and People's Committee to recommend to the National Assembly, the Government and relevant ministries and branches to amend and supplement policies and mechanisms that are no longer consistent.

The Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council has proactively invited representatives of the State Audit Office to participate in regular meetings and supervision delegations on budget management and use, thereby improving the effectiveness of supervision and management of local budgets in accordance with the law.

After 3 years of implementing the Coordination Regulations, the information and data exchanged between the State Audit Office and the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council and People's Committee have helped Nghe An build and implement the socio-economic development plan, prepare budget estimates, prevent corruption and waste; and promote the people's supervisory role in this field. However, the coordination between the parties is not really close; the exchange of information is not regular.

Speaking at the conference, comrade Ho Duc Phoc respectfully thanked the leaders of Nghe An province for their attention and help to the State Audit Office to complete its assigned tasks, hoping for increasingly close coordination with the goal of better managing budget use activities, promoting socio-economic development.

At the same time, help the province in training and fostering knowledge of management, administration of public assets and budget for People's Council delegates and provincial leaders. Hope the province will create conditions for auditing activities in the area, supervise, request timely correction of errors and deviations of the State Audit in the area, coordinate to perform well the assigned tasks; on the side of the State Audit, it will also coordinate to perform and complete well the political tasks of the province.
