Article 2 of Circular 53/2011/TT-BCA-V22 stipulates the expenditures funded from the budget for training and regular retraining within the Vietnam People's Public Security:

1. Expenditures for schools, training institutions in the People's Public Security, or the People's Public Security units and police departments assigned to conduct training and regular retraining for officers and soldiers or assigned to compile curricula and textbooks, including:

- Expenditures serving the class directly as specified in section a, point 1.1, clause 1, Article 2 of Circular No. 139/2010/TT-BTC.

Schools, training institutions, and People's Public Security units and police departments assigned to conduct training and regular retraining for officers and soldiers are responsible for arranging accommodations for distant trainees at dormitories, guest houses, and service houses of the schools and training institutions. In case the local People's Public Security unit and police department organizes training and regular retraining but cannot arrange accommodations for trainees, they are permitted to rent accommodation and reimburse the rental fee as per section 4, Article 2 of Circular No. 04/2011/TT-BCA dated January 28, 2011, issued by the Minister of Public Security, which stipulates policies on business trip allowances and expenses for organizing conferences in the Vietnam People's Public Security.

- Expenditures for direct management activities of training and regular retraining for officers and soldiers by training institutions or People's Public Security units and police departments assigned to conduct training and regular retraining; translation expenses as specified at section b, section c, clause 1, Article 2 of Circular No. 139/2010/TT-BTC.

2. Expenditures for compiling new curricula and textbooks, or amending, supplementing, and updating curricula and textbooks:

This expenditure is covered by the unit assigned to compile the curricula, textbooks, training materials, and knowledge-enhancing documents from the annual training and refresher fund allocated.

3. Travel expenses from the unit to the place of study (one round trip; public holidays; Lunar New Year holiday). Based on the location of the class and the budget capability, the People's Public Security units and police departments sending officers and soldiers to study shall use their regular expenditure funds and other available funds (if any) to cover the travel expenses for officers and soldiers attending the courses, ensuring that the expenses do not exceed the current regulations of the Ministry of Public Security on business trip allowances and conference organizing expenses in the People's Public Security.

4. In cases where the People's Public Security unit and the police department are allocated training funds for officers and soldiers but do not have a training institution or the conditions to organize training classes, and must send officers and soldiers to outside training institutions, the People's Public Security unit and police department shall reimburse the training institution as per the training contract or decision (attached with valid documents).

5. Expenditures for activities directly serving the management of training and regular retraining for officers and soldiers by People's Public Security units and police departments:

Based on the annual training budget allocated by the competent authority, the People's Public Security units and police departments shall decide on the fund distribution for management activities related to training and regular retraining to cover expenses such as planning training programs; organizing meetings, workshops, conferences; checking and evaluating training results; and other expenses directly related to the management of training and regular retraining for officers and soldiers.
