I. Understanding Audit & Assurance Services in Vietnam
Audit and assurance services are foundational to financial transparency, compliance, and stakeholder trust. Broadly defined:
- Audit services involve independent, systematic review of a company’s financial records and statements.
- Assurance services extend beyond traditional audits to include internal controls assessments, agreed-upon procedures, and compliance audits.
As highlighted by Royal Vietnam, their Audit financial statement in VAS ensures the honesty and objectivity of financial reports in compliance with legal and tax standards. Similarly, they offer IFRS-standard audits, project finalization audits, and M&A audit services.
Asia Legal Group offers all these services with full legal accreditation under the Ministry of Finance, ensuring clients’ needs—from FDI compliance to multi-jurisdictional financial reporting—are met with precision and legal integrity.
II. Regulatory and Professional Backbone in Vietnam
Vietnam’s audit and assurance framework is governed by:
- The Law on Independent Audit (2011) and Law on Accounting (2015), setting standards and licensure requirements, enforced by the Ministry of Finance (MOF).
- The Vietnamese Standards on Auditing (VSA)—modeled after ISA—developed by VACPA under MOF oversight.
- Regular Quality Assurance (QA) reviews by MOF’s AASD ensure firm compliance every three years or upon regulatory triggers.
- Adoption of Vietnamese Standards on Quality Control (VSQC 1) aligns with ISQC 1.
- Vietnam’s strategic movement to mandate IFRS for listed companies and large public firms from 2025.
Asia Legal Group’s audit teams strictly adhere to these standards, maintaining rigorous quality control and professional accountability to the MOF and professional associations.
