Training on applying internal control mechanism and codes of conduct in business in Nghe An province
A survey on the current situation of application of internal controls and codes of conduct at Vietnamese businesses was conducted and the survey results were published in March 2019. The survey showed that businesses were basically aware of internal controls and codes of conduct but had low interest in their application. About 40-50% of interviewed businesses (239 businesses) did not fully or correctly understand the definitions of codes of conduct and internal controls. Many aspects of internal controls were not fully applied, including, for example, the assessment of work performance, risk identification, resources for internal controls-related functions, staff capacity building. One of reasons for these shortcomings, include the lack of specific guidance and training for staff on the benefits of these efforts and how to effectively apply internal controls and code of conduct in their work. For codes of conduct, an assessment of compliance with the code was not included in year-end appraisals. It was not considered an important part of doing business.
