The authors address the following research questions.
RQ1: What are the perceptions of Vietnamese accountants regarding IFRS
adoption?
RQ2: Do different accountant groups have different perspectives regarding
IFRS adoption?
Overall, the authors examine the benefits, costs and challenges of IFRS implementation
in a developing country like Vietnam. The analysis of the survey responses suggests
that the Vietnamese accounting professionals are optimistic about potential benefits of
IFRS although they anticipate significant costs and challenges during the transition
period. The perceived advantages of IFRS found in this study are consistent with the
literature in this area (Jermakowicz 2004; Joshi et al. 2008). Moreover, the survey
findings suggest strong support in switching from VAS to IFRS gradually, though the
level of support is different in each of the three different accountant groups. This finding
lends support to the results in Pandaram (2002) and contradicts the results in Rezaee et
al. (2010).
The remainder of the paper is organised as follows. Section 2 provides a concise
overview of the Vietnamese accounting model and its journey towards IFRS, followed
by a comparison between Vietnamese accounting standards and IFRS. The literature
review is provided in Section 3 and Section 4 describes the research methods
employed in this study. In Section 5, the findings are presented and discussed. The
limitations and implications for future research are found in the conclusion of this paper.
