Recently, the Ministry of Home Affairs issued a document requesting ministries, agencies, and localities to conduct a comprehensive review and be responsible for the results of policy settlement for cases that have been decided to be dismissed according to Decree 178/2024/ND-CP of the Government (amended and supplemented in Decree 67/2025).
The request was made after Report 1212 dated July 31 of the State Audit Office (SAO) sent to the Prime Minister on the audit results of the implementation of policies and regimes for cadres, civil servants, public employees, and laborers in the process of arranging the organizational structure of the political system according to Decree 178/2024 and Decree 67/2025.
The report was prepared based on sample audits at a number of ministries, central and local agencies.
One of the notable contents in the report clearly pointed out by the SAV is violations and errors in the work of appraising and approving streamlining subjects.
Through auditing, it was discovered that some cases were approved for resignation, early retirement on the grounds of "not meeting task requirements, not meeting training qualifications according to professional and nghiệp vụ standards of the job position currently held after arrangement", while personal records and evaluation results for 3 consecutive years all completed tasks well or better.
These cases were detected at some units in Ho Chi Minh City, 43 cases in Dong Nai, 7 cases in Lam Dong, 45 cases in Dak Lak and 3 cases in Gia Lai. SAV believes that this gives rise to the risk of resolving regimes not to the right subjects.
KTNN also discovered that some leaders and managers were resolved to resign even though the number of leaders and managers of the unit after arrangement was not higher than the prescribed level. This group includes 24 cases in Tay Ninh, 5 cases in Dong Nai, 5 cases in Gia Lai and cases belonging to 2 units in Ho Chi Minh City.
Tay Ninh has 56 cases resolved for benefits at units that do not directly implement organizational structure arrangements. The Government Office has 11 cases, including 4 cases belonging to departments that are not directly arranged and 7 cases belonging to departments that are arranged but directly affiliated departments are still maintained.
Some cases were resolved for leave because health did not meet work requirements but medical records were not complete, medical examination and treatment records or professional bases. This content was recorded in 19 cases in Dak Lak, 6 cases in Dong Nai and 6 units in Ho Chi Minh City.
In Dong Nai, a case that does not meet the standards for professional qualifications but does not fall into the case of being streamlined according to the guidance of the Ministry of Home Affairs is still resolved for policy.
In Hanoi, some approved dossiers do not have sufficient grounds to determine or do not ensure regulations, such as lack of documents proving that civil servants do not meet the requirements of tasks or do not meet the standards of the job position.
Ho Chi Minh City has 7 units approving retirement benefits for some cases with more than 5 years of service while the unit's payroll is not guaranteed or does not exceed the prescribed payroll framework.
In Gia Lai, 3 cases were resolved for early retirement due to working in areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions but have not been fully reviewed for the number of years of working in the area to determine that they are eligible for benefits.
The Government Office approved 28 cases of resignation, but the dossiers do not show the assessment of employees based on the results of task performance in the last 3 years according to the criteria specified in Decree 178.
In Can Tho and Ca Mau, some units did not evaluate and classify all cadres, civil servants, and public employees according to the promulgated criteria, but only evaluated those who applied for retirement to enjoy policies.
