[Recap] Workshop: Mandatory audits are here – Is your business ready?
On Wednesday, September 17, Forvis Mazars proudly hosted an exclusive workshop to delve into the recent issuance of Decree 90/2025/ND-CP, which formally amends and supplements the longstanding Decree 17/2012/ND-CP. This event marked a timely opportunity for business leaders to gain firsthand insights into one of the most significant regulatory updates in Vietnam’s audit and compliance landscape.
Key highlights
The introduction of Decree 90/2025/ND-CP represents a pivotal shift in Vietnam’s regulatory framework, introducing expanded audit requirements and clearer definitions for entities subject to mandatory audit. This move reflects the government’s ongoing commitment to enhancing transparency, accountability, and financial integrity across the corporate sector.
Our workshop brought together a diverse group of business leaders, financial managers, and compliance officers for an in-depth exploration of the decree’s implications. The session was expertly led by our two Audit Directors, Ms. Nga Ngo and Ms. Vy Thao Nguyen, who provided comprehensive analysis and practical guidance on the following key topics:
- Entities subject to mandatory audit under Decree 90: A detailed breakdown of newly included organizations, particularly large-scale enterprises meeting specific thresholds related to revenue, assets, and workforce size.
- Updates to the audit process: An overview of procedural changes, revised timelines, and new compliance expectations introduced by the decree.
- Practical insights through real-world case studies: Engaging examples that illustrated how the decree applies in practice, helping participants understand what steps businesses should take to prepare and adapt.
Throughout the session, our experts emphasized that these regulatory updates are not merely compliance obligations. Instead, they present strategic opportunities for businesses to strengthen internal controls, improve financial transparency, and build greater trust with stakeholders and investors.
