The second Vietnam Corporate Governance Project Newsletter highlights the the dual launch of the Corporate Governance Scorecard and the Corporate Governance Manual in December 2010. Both projects were undertaken in cooperation with the State Securities Commission of Vietnam and the Global Corporate Governance Forum.
The Manual closely examines all applicable Vietnamese laws and regulations and international standards and practices, and provides steps and recommendations for implementation, monitoring and accountability to shareholders, corporations, and the government. The Scorecard is a review of the corporate governance practices of the 100 largest listed companies in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchanges as of January 1, 2009. It aims to develop a benchmark of corporate governance practices by exploring compliance with laws and regulations, including local governance regulations and globally recognized governance practices.
