As a senior adviser of the Vietnam Independent Directors Association (VINDA), I am delighted to share this new report on independent directors in Vietnam, a collaboration between FinGroup and VINDA. The report is based on a survey which has three major objectives:
- Assess the independent directors compliance rate in public companies;
- Explore issues that limit the role and function of independent directors in public companies; and
- Provide implications and recommendations to the relevant Government agencies on possible regulatory improvements to enhance the role of independent directors for better corporate governance in public companies.
I look forward to my coming trip to Hanoi starting this weekend to exchange views and learn more about corporate governance developments in Vietnam.
