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.
