On September 25, 2025, VIOD successfully organized the Directors Talk #24: “Market Story in September”, gathering representatives from market regulatory authorities, investment funds, as well as more than 100 board members, corporate leaders, and market experts. The seminar focused on updating the latest legal changes related to Corporate Governance (CG) under Decree No. 245/2025/NĐ-CP, which amends and supplements Decree No. 155/2020/NĐ-CP, and Decision No. 2014/QĐ-TTg approving the Scheme for Upgrading Vietnam’s Stock Market.
Decree No. 245/2025/NĐ-CP introduces several notable updates, including stricter rules on concurrent positions, increased responsibilities of the Board of Directors (BOD) in dividend distribution and independent directors’ reports, clearer provisions on foreign ownership limits, and a shortened timeline for IPO and listing procedures. Meanwhile, Decision No. 2014/QĐ-TTg marks a significant milestone by addressing the application of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and promoting corporate governance in alignment with OECD standards.
In her capacity as a lawyer, Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Khoa, Managing Partner of K & Associates Law Firm (KALF), shared insights on the new corporate governance regulations introduced under Decree No. 245/2025/NĐ-CP.
