According to the Ministry of Finance's roadmap for applying IFRS in Vietnam, listed enterprises on the stock market and state-owned enterprises holding the dominant power are the first group of enterprises to alter the preparation of financial statements according to Vietnamese Accounting Standards (VAS) to the application of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The voluntary application period is from 2022 to 2025 and the period after 2025 will be the mandatory one. This study was conducted to determine the factors affecting the transition from preparing financial statements following VAS to IFRS for this group of enterprises. The study involved surveying managers and chief accountants at 120 enterprises belonging to the group of companies listed on the stock market, state-owned enterprises holding the dominant power, with the adoption of a regression analysis method. The research results show that five factors are affecting the transition of financial reporting from VAS to IFRS in this group of enterprises, with the order of influence being ranked from high to low, respectively as (i) Size and operation characteristics of the enterprise; (ii) Competence of accountants; (iii) Viewpoints of the enterprise administrators; (iv) Applied accounting regime, and (v) Enterprise owners. On that basis, the study proposes some recommendations for the transition from preparing financial statements according to VAS to IFRS for enterprises to meet the Ministry of Finance's roadmap for IFRS application.

With the aim of determining the factors affecting the application of IFRS in teaching for universities and colleges with accounting and auditing training, the research was conducted at 30 universities, colleges with accounting and auditing majors, and 208 lecturers who are engaged in teaching accounting and auditing in Vietnam. Next, the study employed the method of regression analysis by PLS_SEM software to process and analyze the collected data. Research results show that eight factors are affecting the application of IFRS in teaching at universities and colleges in Vietnam in the order of influence from high to low, respectively (i) Training program; (ii) Teaching staff; (iii) Regulation on the application of IFRS of the Ministry of Finance; (iv) Request of the related parties; (v) Faculty/Institution administrators; (vi) Teaching aids; (vii) IFRS teaching methods and (viii) Learners (students, trainees). At the same time, the study also shows that the financial capability of the institutions does not affect the application of IFRS in teaching.

The term of audit expectation gap (AEG) was created nearly 50 years ago and has received the attention of many researchers. Despite a lot of research on AEG, the method of measuring AEG remains controversial. The number of studies which propose the method of measuring AEG is limited and there are many problems when applying these methods in empirical studies. Inherited from previous studies, this paper aims to develop a new method of measuring AEG and proves it by the results from the application of this method in empirical research in Vietnam. The article achieves two important results: (1) Proposing a new method of measuring AEG based on the Porter’s definition and structure of AEG; and (2) Proving the results from the application of the new method for measuring AEG by conducting empirical research in Vietnam.

Supply chain management (SCM) plays a major role in allowing manufacturing companies to achieve competitive advantage. However, only few studies have been investigated in manufacturing industry, particularly on the relationship between SCM drivers and competitive advantage. Therefore, the objective of this study is to explore the impact of supply chain management drivers on competitive advantage in Vietnamese manufacturing companies. By adopting the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), a multiple regression analysis, the author finds out that the SCM drivers including facilities, inventory, transportation, information, sourcing and pricing are strongly related to competitive advantage in the manufacturing. The results contribute to the current literature on supply chain and they are essential for supply chain in manufacturing industry by acknowledging the influence of SCM drivers on competitive advantage.

The objective of the study is to assess the impact of green supply chain management practices on the financial and non-financial efficiency of tourism enterprises in Hanoi, Vietnam. The study was conducted on 150 businesses in the tourism business directory of the Vietnam Tourism Association. The data collected was analyzed using SPSS and Smart PLS software and the results show that all the hypotheses were supported. Practicing green supply chain management in the tourism industry increases the company's competitive advantage, improves corporate reputation, especially improve environmental performance. While competitive advantage, good reputation and good environmental performance improve financial performance of these tourism enterprises. Finally, three mediate variables; namely competitive advantage, corporate reputation and environmental performance play a full mediate role in the relationship between green supply chain management and financial performance.

The objective of this paper is to assess the impact of green supply chain management on global collaboration capability and firm performance of Vietnamese enterprises. The study is performed on 890 enterprises in 8 economic sectors of Vietnam. After a period of 6 month of data collection, the analysis results show that green supply chain management had a positive impact on global collaboration capability. At the same time, green supply chain management had a positive impact on firm performance. Finally, global collaboration capability had a positive impact on firm performance. However, according to previous studies, the scale of enterprises size had a statistically significant moderate role in the relationship between green supply chain management and firm performance, but in the context of Vietnamese enterprises, the role moderate of size is not statistically significant.

The paper investigates the impact of corporate performance on supply chain finance with the data collected from logistics sector in Vietnam. Particularly, supply chain finance is measured by cash conversion cycle (CCC). By using the generalized method of moment (GMM), the results show that corporate performance (CP) exerts a negative impact on cash conversion cycle (CCC). Alternatively, corporate performance positively affects supply chain finance, which is an interesting finding of this paper. Further, supply chain finance is also significantly influenced by some control variables, namely capital structure (CS), firm size (FS) and firm growth (FG). The results are essential for the management of supply chain, especially those working in logistics sector.

The paper analyzes factors which exert significant impact on supply chain finance (SCF) of real estate sector in Vietnam. Since this interesting topic has not been commonly investigated in empirical research, its results will be meaningful not only on Vietnam but also on other economies. By employing generalized method of moment (GMM) in estimation, the authors report the negative impact of firm profitability (ROA), financial leverage (LEV), firm size (SIZE) and economic growth (GDP) on supply chain finance (SCF). These valuable findings are essential for consideration by the management in improving supply chain finance, especially that of real estate sector.

The enterprise's system, along with households and the government are the main factors in the production and consumption of the economy, which plays an extremely important role in the development of any country. Besides the large enterprises, which are often considered as the locomotives of the economy’s development, people are increasingly interested in a significant number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) whose position and role has been confirmed through the actual economic development of many countries and economies. In Vietnam, the development of SMEs has been creating a driving force for economic growth and has become an important strategic direction in the country’s socio-economic development strategy. The article focuses on determining the factors affecting the development of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises in Vietnam. At the same time, the current paper evaluates factors affecting the development of these enterprises. The main factors expected to be focused on in the research include the level of production technology, government policies, raw materials, labor, management capacity, corporate social responsibility, green growth orientation, and global epidemics.

This research is conducted to examine the determinants of customer satisfaction in using debit cards issued by the Vietnam commercial banks (CB). By applying the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), logistic regression and linear regression on a dataset of 428 customers, we find that the features and price of products were the key determinants influencing the frequency of using debit cards. However, the impact of each determinant is heterogeneous among different groups of customers. Product price and features are more likely to influence the users using debit cards to purchase goods or services in stores or online than customers working for the public agencies or frequently using non-cash payment for high-valued transaction.
