Japan, as the Capacity Development Administrator of ASOSAI, will strongly support Vietnam, he affirmed.
During the interview, Kawato also emphasised that ASOSAI aims to promote cooperation and mutual understanding among its member supreme audit institutions (SAIs) through sharing experience and knowledge in financial supervision.
The organization has also worked to enhance the quality of auditing activities through bettering auditors’ capability and supporting member SAIs, he added.
The AC President also highlighted the increasingly important role of audit institutions, saying that ASOSAI wants to make effective contributions by improving its member audit bodies’ capacity after studying their needs.
Kawato said that in order to develop the economy smoothly, transparency and accountability of administrative agencies are indispensable, and auditing bodies are responsible for assuming this important role.-VNA
