Because all nine are financial problems, not civil engineering problems. Recovering capital from TOD land is a cash-flow model. Converting foreign investment norms is a price-level conversion. Internal control is designing checkpoints in the flow of money. This is our trade.
Conversely, we do not take on project management consultancy, construction supervision, design or design appraisal. Not because of any licence problem — but because we have no team of civil engineers, and because if we did that work we would later be auditing ourselves.
A cash-flow model for TOD land under Article 25 of the Law on Railways: collection schedule, the share the province keeps, and sensitivity to land prices and timing.
View details →A whole-life financial plan for the line: capital cost, operating subsidy, TOD revenue, the provincial budget it requires each year, and sensitivity analysis.
View details →Comparing and combining funding sources for the line — budget, ODA, private capital and PPP: who carries which risk, and what each source really costs.
View details →Selecting comparable projects and converting foreign investment rates and norms to the valuation date under Article 32, with the reasoning needed to defend the file.
View details →Spending rules, separation of duties and checkpoints between measurement and payment for the project management unit, designed backwards from what settlement will demand.
View details →Rules for creating, coding, storing and handing over settlement records from the very first contract package — for a project that runs eight to twelve years.
View details →Reorganising when the line moves from construction to operation: asset handover, the operating company’s structure, and the subsidy formula.
View details →Foreign contractor tax on rolling stock and signalling, VAT treatment under ODA, and the investment incentives the Law on Railways already provides.
View details →Training built from the unit’s own files, not a ready-made syllabus: settlement, cost control, payment documentation and preparing for an audit.
View details →All nine service pages below are available in English. The legal documents they cite remain in Vietnamese — that is the authoritative text.
Article 40 of the Law on Independent Audit lists the services an audit firm may provide. Clause 1 covers audit, review and other assurance services — available immediately. Clause 2 covers economic, financial and tax advisory; advisory on management, conversion and corporate restructuring; IT advisory; accounting services; valuation; and training in finance, accounting and auditing — these require registration with the Ministry of Finance.
All nine services on this page fall under Clause 2.
The list in Article 40 is a closed list. Anything not named in it, an audit firm may not sell — including legal services. When you need a genuine legal opinion, we say so plainly and refer you to a licensed law practice rather than taking the work and improvising.
And under Article 30, we may not provide services that impair our independence towards an entity we audit. The independence check always runs before any discussion of price.
If you are not sure which service your problem belongs to, just describe the situation on the Request advice page. We will classify it for you — and if it falls outside what we are permitted to do, we will say so immediately.
