Three kinds of request we take

Quick answer

A single specific question

One clear question about a legal basis, a procedural sequence, or how to treat a particular cost. This kind is usually answered in the first reply.

Turnaround: within 24 working hours · No charge
Needs the file

A problem with several strands

A situation touching several instruments, several dates, or requiring the contract and acceptance records to be read together. We give a preliminary answer first, then arrange a discussion if needed.

Turnaround: 2 to 3 working days · A confidentiality undertaking may be required
Becomes an engagement

Reviewing the whole project file

Reviewing the complete file before it goes for settlement, or reconstructing the map of which instruments applied when, for a project that has run many years. This has its own scope and timetable.

Turnaround: as agreed · Under a service contract

Nine services we can take on

Beyond answering questions, we take on nine pieces of work around the financial and governance side of an urban railway project. Each card explains what we do, on what basis, and what you receive.

All nine fall under Clause 2, Article 40 of the Law on Independent Audit and must pass an independence check before signing — the detail is on the Services page.

01

Capital recovery from TOD land

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 →
02

Financial plan for the line

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 →
03

Funding structure

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 →
04

Investment rates and norms

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 →
05

Internal control for the PMU

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 →
06

Settlement records from day one

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 →
07

Corporate restructuring

Reorganising when the line moves from construction to operation: asset handover, the operating company’s structure, and the subsidy formula.

View details →
08

Tax for the project

Foreign contractor tax on rolling stock and signalling, VAT treatment under ODA, and the investment incentives the Law on Railways already provides.

View details →
09

Training for PMU staff

Training built from the unit’s own files, not a ready-made syllabus: settlement, cost control, payment documentation and preparing for an audit.

The form

What to include in the description

  • Where the project is — Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have their own mechanism; elsewhere does not
  • The funding source: public investment, ODA or PPP
  • The date of the matter in question — instruments apply according to when the event arose
  • Whether any decision of a competent authority already exists on the point
  • Whether there is a deadline to meet, for example a verification submission date

What happens to what you send

We treat everything you send as confidential. We do not name your project or your organisation in any public material. Where a question becomes a general lesson worth publishing, we rewrite it so that no project can be identified.

What we cannot answer

We do not give a legal opinion — an audit firm may not provide legal services. We do not comment on the work of another auditor or consultant on a project we have not examined. And we do not give an opinion on a question that turns on documents we have not read.
