By converging to IFRS, Vietnam’s international reputation could be enhanced by its
compliance with international rules and its emergence as a credible global trading
partner. The movement from VAS towards IFRS could potentially see the Vietnamese
accounting profession and academic community benefitting as well. With the growth of
IFRS acceptance in Vietnam, professional associations and large accounting firms have
begun to integrate IFRS into their publications, certification and testing programs.
Universities in Vietnam are now including limited coverage of IFRS in their curricula and
accounting textbooks. Thus, this research project will contribute to raising awareness of
the advantages, disadvantages and challenges of IFRS application for the accounting
community in Vietnam.
This study will also evaluate the reasons given in support of and opposition to switching
from VAS to IFRS by taking into consideration the views of three different groups of
accountants in Vietnam. The findings of the project are anticipated to provide useful and
timely information to the newly formed Vietnamese Accounting Standards Board to
assist them in making decisions affecting accounting practices which, in turn, will
support social and economic development in Vietnam.
The evidence provided by this study is likely to be of interest to other countries or firms
considering IFRS adoption. It is also likely to be beneficial to the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB), regulators, professional accounting associations
and public accounting firms in their efforts to promote the world-wide adoption of
international standards.
This paper is related to the papers authored by Pandaram (2002) and Rezaee, Smith
and Szendi (2010). Both examined the perceptions of academics and practitioners in
well established capital markets (Australia and the United States of America). This study
adds to the existing literature in the following ways. Firstly, this study is one of a few, if
not the first, comprehensive studies to examine the perceptions of Vietnamese
accountants on IFRS adoption. Secondly, the survey statements used in this research
are different to those examined in the previous studies to suit the context of emerging
transitional economies.
