Speaking at the conference, Mr. Tran Trong Duong emphasized the important role of internal audit in ensuring transparency and sustainable development of the bank. At the same time, he pledged to continue investing resources to improve audit quality, meeting the increasingly high requirements in the finance and banking sector.

The summary report at the conference showed that in 2024, Agribank's internal audit activities made important progress, contributing to improving the effectiveness of monitoring and controlling risks throughout the system. However, the report also pointed out some shortcomings in the audit process at some units, the implementation of monitoring guidelines was not consistent among branches, along with increasing pressure from compliance requirements according to regulations of the State Bank and international auditing organizations.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien Minh, Head of Internal Audit, spoke at the Conference.

The conference set specific goals to improve the effectiveness of internal audit activities in 2025, including completing the audit mechanism and improving the quality of supervision. Agribank will focus on completing the audit mechanism and enhancing professional training for internal audit staff. Audit content will be expanded, including credit monitoring, risk management and compliance with new regulations of the State Bank. Along with that, standardizing inspection and evaluation methods is considered an important task. At the same time, units also need to specifically improve the inspection and evaluation process of audit recommendations.

The conference was held in person and online to internal audit departments in the regions.

The conference also organized training on a number of auditing and monitoring contents including: Instructions for checking and evaluating compliance with the State Bank's statistical reporting regulations; Methods for checking and evaluating insurance agency activities at branches; Procedures for auditing anti-money laundering activities according to Decision 116/QD-BKS dated September 15, 2022.
