The Government Inspectorate of Vietnam (GIV) plans to conduct 25 inspections in 2015 with more attention to be paid to the monitoring of the implementation of post-inspection decisions.

At a meeting on January 23 reviewing the tasks completed in the fourth quarter in 2014, Deputy Inspector General Tran Duc Luong said the inspections at two state-owned economic groups namely the Vietnam National Textile and Garment Group (Vinatex) , the Vietnam National Coal and Mineral Industries Group (Vinacomin) will focus on their management and use of state-owned capital, assets, their equitisation process and restructuring as well as the divestment of capital from non-core business activities.

The Vietnam General Department of Customs and its subsidiaries will be examined in terms of smuggling prevention , the enforcement of tax laws on imports and exports, asset procurement and investment activities, while the Mekong Delta Housing Development Bank will be inspected in the fields of lending, investment and asset procurement.

Inspections at the Ministries of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, Education and Training, Culture – Sports and Tourism, and Public Health will review their allocation and management of financial sources for major projects in their respective fields.

Meanwhile, other planned inspections will look into the performance of the Chairmen of the provincial People’s Committees in several provinces in receiving citizens, dealing with claims and denouncements and fighting corruption.

The directorate will also send working teams to five provinces - Lam Dong, Phu Tho, Binh Thuan, Phu Yen and Dong Nai - to examine the enforcement of regulations on preventing and eliminating corruption.
