Government Audit Uncovers Violations Worth Over $1.9 Billion

On July 4, 2026, in Hanoi, the Government Inspectorate held a conference to review its activities for the first half of the year and outline key tasks for the latter half of 2026.

According to the report from the Government Inspectorate, the first six months of 2026 have seen a substantial workload following the establishment of the new government for the term 2026-2031. The Inspectorate faced many urgent tasks assigned by the Steering Committee, the Government, and the Prime Minister that required timely and quality execution.

The leadership of the Government Inspectorate initiated a movement to complete these tasks, promoting unity and a pioneering spirit among its staff. They emphasized a clear division of responsibilities to ensure accountability and efficiency in their operations. In the first half of 2026, the Inspectorate conducted 1,745 audits, resulting in 1,122 audit conclusions across 3,469 units.

Through these audits, violations amounting to 44,623.3 trillion VND (approximately $1.9 billion) were uncovered, which is a staggering 233.4% increase compared to the same period in 2025. This included the identification of 4,824.6 hectares of land involved in these violations. The Inspectorate recommended the recovery of 631.5 billion VND to the state budget, along with 201.2 hectares of land, and called for the return of 23.209 trillion VND and 14.8 hectares of land from organizations and individuals.

Moreover, the Government Inspectorate is continuing its nationwide audits on specific topics as directed by the Steering Committee, focusing on issues such as waste management in state-owned properties, illegal fishing practices, and the management of construction material exploitation.

In his address, Chief Inspector Nguyen Quoc Doan emphasized the importance of adhering to the 2026 audit program and the necessity of addressing urgent tasks assigned by higher authorities. He highlighted the need for effective follow-up on audit conclusions to enhance resource mobilization for socio-economic development.

Additionally, the Inspectorate is focusing on improving citizen engagement and complaint resolution processes, aiming to address issues promptly at the local level and reduce the number of complaints escalated to the central government. The Inspectorate is also committed to combating corruption and waste, in line with national strategies and legal frameworks.

As part of future plans, the Government Inspectorate will continue to review and propose amendments to relevant laws to eliminate bottlenecks in its operations. There is a strong emphasis on leveraging technology and digital transformation to improve audit processes and citizen engagement.
