Welcoming the Vietnamese working session, Roland expressed his willingness to boost cooperation between the Court of Audit of Belgium and the State Audit Office of Vietnam in sharing experience and methods in audit such as operational audit and IT audit.

He shared experience in increasing his court’s capacity and presence at the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) and the European Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (EUROSAI), and in applying information technology in operational audit.

Phoc expressed his hope that the two sides continue intensifying delegation exchanges, inviting each side’s representatives to participate in international conferences they organise or within the framework of activities held by INTOSAI and EUROSAI.

As the Chair of the Asian Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (ASOSAI), the State Audit Office of Vietnam is exerting efforts to contribute more to the development of ASOSAI and its members towards becoming a model working group of INTOSAI, he stated.

He said he hopes the Court of Audit of Belgium, with its role as an active member of INTOSAI and EUROSAI, will support ASOSAI in general and the State Audit Office of Vietnam in particular in governmental audit.
