The Board of Directors warmly thanks Tien Dung Can, the outgoing auditor general, for his dedication and professionalism throughout his tenure. Appointed in 2015, Mr. Can led numerous strategic audits and played a key role in improving the organization’s internal processes. His five-year term, which was subsequently extended, gave rise to key recommendations that laid the groundwork for ongoing corrective actions. The STM wishes him all the best in his future endeavours.
