VIB also emphasises a culture of proactive and continuous learning, conducting annual assessments combined with coaching to help employees grow and improve themselves.

Ren Varma, the ACCA’s director for Southeast Asia, confirmed that today’s signing event “will lead us to a balanced, prosperous, and successful shared future for VIB, the ACCA, and all our partners.”

“We can look forward to many more joint events in the future as we promote joint business programs and organise workshops, training events, and learn from each other’s expertise and extensive experience,” added Varma.

Enhancing cooperation between countries in the fields of finance, accounting, and auditing facilitates economic development

The ACCA Asia Pacific Dialogue 2024 held in Hanoi on May 28-29 aims to foster a platform for innovative thinking and strategic dialogue among key stakeholders in the accounting and finance sector, focusing on sustainable finance, digital transformation, and regulatory developments, reflecting the most pressing trends and challenges in the region.

Digitalisation, if not carefully managed, could cause significant damage to sustainable development, so the deployment of new technology must go hand in hand with sustainable development principles.

The ACCA APAC Dialogue 2024 event (ACCA Asia-Pacific Forum 2024) organised by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) will officially take place on May 28–29 at JW Marriott Hotel Hanoi.
