Circular 99 Explained: What businesses must act on today
Vietnam’s new accounting regulation, Circular 99/2025/TT-BTC, marks a shift toward greater financial transparency, raising the bar for how enterprises, both local and foreign-invested, account, report and govern their finances from 1 January 2026.
For companies used to a more prescriptive, rules-based system, this move toward a principle-based approach may create uncertainty around internal controls, documentation and reporting expectations. The new framework introduces greater flexibility in areas such as accounting systems, functional currency and consolidation, while placing more responsibility on internal governance and risk management.
In this video, Ms. Thy Le, Manager of Accounting & Tax at Acclime Vietnam, breaks down what’s changing and outlines a practical roadmap for transitioning from Circular 200.

EOR in Vietnam explained: Benefits, risks, and the right time to transition
Vietnam’s strong economic performance continues to attract global investors. With GDP growth of around 8% and total trade turnover reaching approximately USD 930 billion in 2025, the country remains one of the most promising growth markets in Southeast Asia. However, entering the market can present challenges. Complex labour regulations, evolving compliance requirements, and the time and cost involved in establishing a legal entity often create barriers for companies looking to hire and operate quickly in Vietnam.
In the latest episode of the Advance in Vietnam podcast series, Vlad Savin, Partner, speaks with Rizwan Khan, Managing Partner, about how the Employer of Record (#EOR) model can help address these challenges. The discussion explores how the model works, when it may be preferable to setting up a local entity, and the key benefits, risks and limitations investors should consider.
