In particular, focus on researching and including in the Resolution the following elements: Enterprises with state capital contributions and state credit institutions; State-owned enterprises; State-owned financial funds outside the budget.
Concluding the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that this is a very important and very difficult project because it is the foundation and driving force to mobilize and effectively use state resources, contributing to promoting the rapid and sustainable development of the country, in the spirit of double-digit growth in the coming period.
The State Audit sector in general and state-owned enterprises in particular are holding a huge resource. It is necessary to propose solutions to make this region more effective, affirming its leading, controlling, leading, and spreading role for the economy, pioneering in new fields, important fields, and strategic fields.
Up to now, we have not really approached in terms of theory, concepts, and definitions to determine what the State Audit includes and have not comprehensively and comprehensively assessed the State Audit.
This time, although it is difficult and with a limited time, the Steering Committee is carrying out its tasks in the spirit of an inclusive and comprehensive approach to the issue of the State Audit.
In particular, the Deputy Prime Minister requested to focus on the focus, key points, correctly assess the current situation, existence, and limitations of the State budget; analyze the causes, lessons learned. From there, it will provide new and breakthrough orientations, visions of the State Audit and tasks and solutions.
As for the development of the Resolution, the Government leader noted that the content must be concise, focused, specific, highly action-oriented and must be implemented immediately when issued.
Based on the opinions exchanged and analyzed by members at the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister shared his views on choosing option 1. The Ministry of Finance accepted the opinions and continued to clarify the contents. If there is an expansion, it will consider some factors of option 2, but option 1 is still the main one.
