In 2025, Vietnam's investment landscape continues to evolve, presenting both opportunities and challenges for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) companies. To navigate this dynamic environment successfully, FDI enterprises must adhere to stringent legal and financial reporting requirements. Asia Legal Group, licensed and supervised by the Ministry of Finance, offers comprehensive audit services tailored to the unique needs of FDI companies operating in Vietnam.
Legal Framework Governing FDI Companies in Vietnam
FDI companies in Vietnam are subject to a robust legal framework designed to ensure transparency, accountability, and compliance with local regulations. Key legislative documents include:
- Investment Law 2020 (Law No. 61/2020/QH14): Provides the overarching legal basis for investment activities in Vietnam.
- Decree No. 31/2021/ND-CP: Details the implementation of the Investment Law, including procedures for investment registration and project implementation.
- Decree No. 29/2021/ND-CP: Outlines the supervision and evaluation of investment projects.
- Circular No. 200/2014/TT-BTC: Specifies Vietnamese Accounting Standards (VAS) and financial reporting requirements for enterprises.
- Independent Audit Law No. 67/2011/QH12: Regulates the practice of independent auditing in Vietnam.
These regulations collectively establish the foundation for financial transparency and accountability for FDI companies.

Mandatory Reporting Obligations for FDI Enterprises
To maintain compliance, FDI companies must fulfill various reporting obligations:
- Investment Activity Reports: FDI enterprises are required to submit quarterly and annual reports detailing the implementation of their investment projects. These reports must be submitted to the investment registration authority and local statistics office. Quarterly reports are due before the 10th day of the first month of the following quarter, while annual reports must be submitted before March 31 of the following year.
- Financial Statements: FDI companies must prepare and submit annual financial reports, including balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, and explanatory notes. These reports must be submitted within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year.
- Labor Usage Reports: Enterprises must submit periodic labor reports covering both Vietnamese and foreign employees. These reports ensure compliance with Vietnamese labor laws.
- Statistical Reports: FDI companies are obligated to submit various statistical reports throughout the year, including monthly, quarterly, and annual reports on activities such as commercial operations, industrial production, and export/import activities.
The Importance of Independent Audits for FDI Companies
Independent audits play a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of financial reporting for FDI companies. Starting from 2025, Vietnam has mandated that large-scale companies, including FDI enterprises, have their financial statements audited annually in accordance with government regulations.
Key benefits of independent audits include:
- Enhanced Credibility: Audited financial statements provide assurance to investors, stakeholders, and regulatory authorities regarding the accuracy of financial information.
- Regulatory Compliance: Regular audits help ensure adherence to Vietnamese Accounting Standards (VAS) and other regulatory requirements.
- Risk Management: Auditors identify potential financial risks and recommend measures to mitigate them, contributing to better financial management.
- Operational Efficiency: The audit process often uncovers inefficiencies and areas for improvement in business operations.
