All participating SAIs could use this guideline to deliver training in revenue auditing; (4) As all participants agreed that this research project was very beneficial for participating SAIs, it was proposed that a knowledge sharing workshop on the audit of a specific revenue common to the 7 participating SAIs such as VAT\/GST should be carried out in 2017.\u00a0 All participants unanimously agreed that the said workshop be hosted by SAI Vietnam.\u00a0 It is of interest that the maturity of SAIs in carrying out audits on VAT\/GST varies as GST was only implemented in Malaysia in 2015 whereas VAT was implemented in Indonesia (1984); Thailand (1992); Singapore (1993); Philippines (1998); Cambodia and Vietnam (1999); and Lao PDR (2009).\u00a0 [SAI Malaysia]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
