VBF CONDUCTING RESEARCH - INTERVIEWS BY VBF GOVERNANCE & INTEGRITY WG
The Study aims to provide a snapshot of the extent and nature of foreign and foreign-invested companies’ experiences of high risk activities in Vietnam in order to highlight major risk areas, help companies develop policies and practices to address the same and generally educate on the day-to-day challenges that may face investors doing business in Vietnam.
As one of methodologies to be applied, the G&I WG will identify a sample group of 30 companies and conduct face to face meetings (approx. 1 hour max). Although English is preferred, interviews may also be conducted in Vietnamese language if desired.
The interview questions are likely to focus on distinct areas of business risk, for example: (i) tender processes in private procurement; (ii) routine government authorizations (work permits; business licenses; tax clearance) and (iii) experience of demands for excessive gifts and/or entertainment from public officials.
Information obtained during the course of the Study will be aggregated and we will ensure that the results will be entirely anonymous. No participant names will be used in the Study output. All information obtained during the Study will be kept strictly confidential and stored by our partner law firm.
VBF would like to invite you to participate in the interviews. Your contribution will play a meaningful role in ongoing anti-corruption efforts by both businesses and government agencies.
Please kindly let them know if you are interested to take part in the interviews and willing to share your practical experience that will be helpful to others when doing business in Vietnam.
We would much appreciate that you provide them with some information about the potential interviewee of your company: name, position, contact details and address to info@vbf.org.vn. They will directly contact the interviewee later for specific timing, availability, questionnaire and other related matters.
