He has worked at the State Audit Office of Vietnam (SAV) for more than four years and is currently assigned to Specialized Audit Department No III. At the SAV, he has mostly performed financial-compliance audits of the budget implementation of social ministries (e.g., Ministry of Education and Training, Ministry of Health).

My goals for the Fellowship

I am most hopeful that during my Fellowship I will be able to:

• Learn about performance audit theory and practice. I am particularly interested in learning more about how performance audits are used to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of government programs and activities.
• Learn how governments work in Canada and in other Fellows’ countries. I am eager to learn about the different ways in which governments operate in different countries, and I believe that this experience will be invaluable in my future career as an auditor.
• Develop my teamwork, planning, and audit topic selection skills. I am confident that the Fellowship will provide me with the opportunity to learn from and collaborate with experienced auditors, and I am excited to develop these essential skills.

The impact I hope to make as a graduate Fellow

After I complete my Fellowship, I hope to make a significant difference in the State Audit Office of Vietnam and in my country as a whole by contributing to the development of the SAV’s performance audit practice and raising the profile of performance audit among SAV colleagues.
