Voters in Hung Yen province have just proposed to study effective control mechanisms for assets and income of officials and civil servants and asset transactions; and at the same time have more effective solutions in thoroughly recovering assets and overcoming economic consequences caused by corruption and negativity.
Answering this issue, the Government Inspectorate said that currently, the mechanism for controlling assets and income of people with positions and powers has been fully and synchronously regulated in the Law on Anti-Corruption in 2018, the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Anti-Corruption in 2018, which supplements and adjusts a number of important regulations related to the obligation to declare and control assets and income, ensuring stricter regulations, in accordance with practical requirements and Decree No. 130/2020/ND-CP of the Government on controlling assets and income of people with positions and powers in agencies, organizations, and units.
Accordingly, the law has clearly stipulated the subjects to be declared; content, time of declaration; form and scope of public disclosure of declarations; authority, order, procedures for verifying assets and income; responsibilities of relevant agencies, organizations, and individuals in coordinating and providing information to serve the work of controlling assets and income.
Regarding the control of asset transactions and the origin of asset formation, current anti-corruption law is implemented according to the principle of linking asset and income control with accountability for the origin of assets and additional income; through activities of declaring, publicizing and verifying assets and income to promptly detect abnormal signs, serving the handling according to the provisions of law.
In addition, the Government Inspectorate and agencies and departments are promoting the application of information technology, strengthening connections and data sharing between relevant agencies to improve the efficiency of management, control and prevention of corruption and negativity.

The Government Inspectorate continues to strengthen inspection and examination work, detect, propose handling and closely coordinate with competent agencies in applying necessary measures to prevent the dissipation and concealment of assets; and at the same time summarize difficulties and obstacles in practical implementation to propose to improve mechanisms, policies, and laws, in order to improve the effectiveness of recovering corrupt assets in the coming time.
