“For five years he chaired as Auditor General – State Audit of Vietnam, he has enabled to gain important prestige and greater trust as State Audit builds up a transparent, sound and sustained national finances, providing efficient contributions to national industrialization and modernization, and international integration.”

Mr. Hue said, “I’m delighted to accept this award. ACCA has been a strong supporter of the accounting and auditing profession in Vietnam. I admire what ACCA has achieved over the years, developing its business all over the world. The emerging markets have benefited from ACCA’s training and qualifications given to students.

“ACCA has provided technical assistance to Vietnam, including sending consultants to help develop laws and legislative regulations for the management of the accountancy and auditing career in Vietnam, organizing professional workshops and knowledge update opportunities facilitated by international experts and industry professionals. We look forward to their continuing support in the challenges ahead,” the Vietnamese Finance Minister said in Sunday’s announcement.
