“Information Disclosure and Transparency”

This the theme of the Corporate Governance Assessment Programme in 2013 launched by the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX), which aims to raise awareness of listed companies about transparency and quality of information disclosure. The programme aims to praise listed companies with excellent fulfilment of transparent information disclosure obligations in 2012.

Earlier, with the framework of this programme, HNX hosted highly practical activities like holding annual seminars on corporate governance, organising field trips for listed companies to foreign countries to learn about corporate governance, and building CIMS information disclosure system, releasing information disclosure handbooks for listed companies.

With the objective of heightening transparency and quality of information disclosure of listed companies, HNX introduced assessment criteria based on OECD’s recommendations on corporate governance and laws on stock market like Circular 52, Circular 121 and other information disclosure and corporate governance provisions.
