Corporate Compliance in Vietnam.

The standard turnaround is five working days from the point we receive all documents. For an RO or simple entity structure, often three days. For a group review, we advise on a specific timeline at intake.

The most common delay is document gathering on the client side. Forra's structured checklist at intake helps significantly.

At intake we'll ask for your ERC, your Investment Registration Certificate where applicable, recent government-report filings, latest licence documents, employment contracts and work permit records for foreign staff, and any correspondence from Vietnamese authorities in the past 12 months.

If you don't have all of these, that's fine — identifying what's missing is part of the review itself.

Finding problems is the point. The report classifies findings by severity and recommends the correct sequence of remediation. Where immediate action is needed — an imminent licence expiry or an overdue tax filing — we flag this at the briefing and can begin remediation immediately.

Remediation is quoted separately once findings are known, so you're never committed without knowing the cost.

Yes — and this is one of the main advantages of using Forra rather than an external auditor. We have in-house teams for tax, corporate secretarial, HR, and global mobility. Most findings can be remediated entirely within Forra without engaging a separate firm.

A statutory audit produces an auditor's opinion on your financial statements, and tax finalisation is handled under our Accounting & Tax service. Forra's Compliance Report is a legal and regulatory review — it checks your entity's status across corporate, investment, labour, and licensing obligations. The three serve different purposes and are not substitutes for each other.

Yes. Most clients who commission a one-off review subsequently engage Forra for ongoing management — annual reports, licence renewals, amendment filings, and regulatory monitoring. The compliance report gives us — and you — a clean baseline to work from.

Yes. The report is prepared exclusively for your company and subject to Forra's standard client confidentiality terms. If the engagement is for due diligence purposes and you intend to share the report with an acquirer or investor, let us know at intake — we can adjust the format accordingly.
