HA NOI (Biz Hub) — FPT Corporation will support the State Audit Office of Viet Nam to implement information technology (IT) in the 2014-20 period.

Under a recent strategic co-operation agreement, FPT will bring advanced technology to administrative management and audit operations and provide the state agency with IT and telecommunications services at preferential prices.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Truong Gia Binh, chairman of FPT Corporation, said that the firm would bring its latest technology and specialised technicians to the agency.

The agency hopes the co-operation will help build modern IT infrastructure and boost auditors' IT skills.

Auditor general Nguyen Huu Van said that IT applications were a top priority in the agency's strategic development plan until 2020, already approved by the Standing Committee of the National Assembly.

"We hope that the co-operation with FPT will help us reach our goal to develop IT in auditing," Van said. — VNS
