The spirit of timely and proactive storm prevention is exemplified in Directive No. 1600/CT-KTNN, issued by the State Auditor General Ngo Van Tuan on September 17. This directive aims to adjust auditing activities to support recovery efforts in areas affected by the powerful Typhoon No. 3.
Adjusting audit plans to support typhoon-affected areas in recovery and stabilization of lives and businesses.
The directive clearly states that in recent days, Typhoon No. 3, with its immense strength, has caused severe damage to the northern provinces of our country. Thanks to the timely and proactive storm prevention efforts of the Government and local authorities, along with the unity and dedication of the people and functional forces, the losses have been minimized. However, the typhoon has resulted in significant casualties and property damage.
To enable local authorities to focus on recovery efforts, stabilize lives, and restore production and business activities, the State Auditor General instructs heads of units to grasp the situation in the affected areas (especially those directly impacted) and propose adjustments to the audit plan.
Additionally, it is necessary to develop a plan for conducting audits (including ongoing and planned audits from now until the end of the year) by reducing the scope and number of audited units and shortening the audit duration. The final decision on this plan will be made by the State Audit Office’s leaders.
State Auditor General Ngo Van Tuan also emphasizes that the review and adjustment process must simultaneously ensure the quality and effectiveness of audit activities, prevent negative incidents, and uphold the industry’s reputation.
In this directive, the State Auditor General assigns the General Department of Synthesis to monitor and urge units to implement the directive and promptly report any urgent issues or developments to the State Auditor General. If any unit encounters difficulties or obstacles during the implementation process, they should promptly report them to the State Auditor General for consideration and decision-making.
Prior to this, the State Audit Office developed and issued the 2024 Audit Plan with 121 audit tasks, an 8-task reduction compared to 2023. As of August 2024, the State Audit Office has deployed a total of 167 audit teams.
Regarding this issue, the Government, in Resolution No. 143/NQ-CP dated September 17, 2024, on key tasks and solutions to urgently overcome the consequences of Typhoon No. 3, requested the State Audit Office and the National Assembly’s committees to consider temporarily suspending the implementation of the State Audit Office’s audit plan and the supervision program of the National Assembly, the National Assembly Standing Committee, and the National Assembly’s committees in the affected localities so that these areas can focus on overcoming the consequences of natural disasters and floods.
