CPA Australia has just opened a representative office in Hanoi. CPA Australia President Alex Malley has an exchange talk with correspondents about its operations in Vietnam in the near future.
CPA Australia has made a commitment to coordinate and develop Vietnam, does CPA Australia deliberately participate in training auditing and accounting groups, apart from its main service?
Finding an auditing job is difficult; adapting this environment is even more difficult. Therefore, it is necessary for auditors and accountants to improve their knowledge in conformity with job requirements and other related issues. Therefore, we recognize the importance of updating information and gaining technical skills for our staff to deal with the market tendencies.
In Vietnam, we have joined hands with the Vietnamese government and other related organisations to provide training courses. Also, we would rather share the information as well as offer assistance to promote the growth of auditing and accounting in Vietnam, through so that auditors and accountants can learn more skills to meet their job requirements.
What are the specific plans of CPA Australia in Vietnam in the near future?
The reasons for our representation in Vietnam are similar to ones in other Asian countries. This is aimed to not only gain our creditability in such markets but also to create development opportunities for us and other members. According to our experience and ability, we uphold and improve auditing and accounting standards, leading higher quality in the auditing, accounting and financial statements. In Vietnam, we provide technical skills, bringing high value and suitable outcomes. Our company and other Vietnamese agencies coordinate together to reach international levels of standardised auditing and accounting.
At the moment, auditing and accounting agencies are undergoing tougher international competition, in which they are required to meet modern standards of auditing and accounting. We believe that Vietnamese auditing and accounting agencies will gradually adopt such standards to catch up with the world trends. With the participation of CPA Australia in Vietnam, we expect to gain more job opportunities for young people as well as help them to enhance their competence, which motivates us to open our representative office in Hanoi.
CPA Australia now has over 100 members working in Vietnam, which fields do the member agencies of CPA Australia major in?
CPA Australia has over 100 members working in Vietnam. They are working for four big auditing agencies KPMG, PWC, Earns & Young, Deloitte as well as other multinational companies, universities and banks. The mechanisms in Vietnam share the same features with those that CPA Australia adopted in the other countries. Because either public or private sector generates their own value the core factor is how to improve skills, knowledge and administrative capacity.
