This will be also the topic of the seventh symposium within the assembly, said Vietnamese State Auditor General Ho Duc Phoc at a press conference in Hanoi on March 28.
He noted that the theme reflects commitments, efforts and practical contributions of the ASOSAI to achieving the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) in general and tackling global environmental challenges in particular.
The ASOSAI members will look into challenges, experiences and solutions to effectively fulfill the function of environmental auditing towards sustainable development, Phoc said.
The outcomes of the ASOSAI 14 are expected to help complete guiding documents, processes and standards of auditing, thus meeting demands for sustainable development in the member countries, he added.
As the host of the ASOSAI 14, the State Audit Office of Vietnam (SAV) will become the ASOSAI Chairman for 2018-2021 and is a member of the ASOSAI Governing Board for three consecutive terms from 2015-2024.
He described the event as a good opportunity for the SAV to learn from international knowledge and experiences, while affirming its role and position to other ASOSAI members and regional and international organisations.
A logo and visual communications tools of the ASOSAI 14 were introduced on this occasion.
