Capacity Building Support to the State Audit Office of Vietnam focuses on SAV capacity building to improve its accountability, reporting, transparency and oversight of public financial management activities in line with the its Development Strategy which was approved by the Auditor General in December 2010. It will by and large contribute to the improved management and oversight of public finance in Vietnam.
