Auditor General Hồ Đức Phớc presented the report on the amended law on State Audit to the National Assembly on Friday in Hà Nội. Also according to the State Audit, the amendment also falls in line with the recommendations from the International Organisations of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) and international practices. Phớc said access to electronic records – as well as which types of data would be audited and the duration data can be accessed by the State Audit – would only be granted with the consent from the audited organisations and individuals. Similarly, auditors given the right to access and analyse data would be responsible for any breach, the Auditor General said. Some deputies said they wanted the State Audit to have access to whatever records and data they need, regardless of the opinion of the audited organisations and individuals.
