On behalf of the working delegation, Deputy State Auditor General Ha Thi My Dung stated the requirements, tasks and guiding viewpoints of the State Auditor General when developing an audit plan for the budget settlement reports of localities in 2023 in general and Nghe An province in particular.
The difference with auditing public assets or auditing works, projects...; auditing budget settlement reports is a comprehensive audit, so the records, reports and documents are fully provided from the beginning; the audit team is divided into groups and the working process of the working groups at the departments and branches must have smooth and scientific coordination; providing settlement report documents right from the beginning, so it is recommended that the Provincial People's Committee direct and thoroughly disseminate them so that the departments and branches can fully understand.
