HÀ NỘI — An environmental audit is well established in countries with modern industries, but is very new to developing countries including Việt Nam. Along with traditional management tools, an environmental audit is an effective way of providing information to State management agencies on the field and to restore the environmental inspection and supervision. The World Bank believes that environmental audit is an inspection of an organisation, facility or location to determine how the organisation or facility meets environmental management criteria. Therefore, in some cases, any environmental audit is simply integrated into financial audit or inspection and examination process. With the goal of making environmental audit a sharp and effective management tool, the Law on Environmental Protection 2020 has put forward more specific and detailed regulations.
