The contingent of qualified and capable officials, who have firm bravery and good
professional ethics in large numbers. TDK managers find that HR policy is the best
policy that can help TDK success. Currently TDK has a system of detailed regulations
related to personnel including:

environment, the policy of supporting staff with the provision of short and long-term
training courses is in the top strategy and currently TDK has a team of experts with
extensive experience in the field of teaching to create training programs and conduct

- Regarding the quantity and quality of services provided by TDK to


customers:
The history of development with good staff is the basis for the number and quality of
services that TDK provides to customers. Currently, TDK offers six basic services:

Accounting consulting, auditing, valuation and tax financial advisory. Regarding the
quality of auditing activities in particular, TDK has built and updated the standard

Male. Experience in large-scale financial review, in-depth knowledge of businesses
operating in Vietnam helps TDK succeed, increasing competitiveness.

Moreover, in the present time, when Vietnam is developing the basic construction,
mushroom-like constructions require a huge amount of audit resources, grasping this
together with the experience in auditing. In the field of basic construction, TDK has
focused on this area and is currently operating very strongly, accounting for the largest
market share of all other auditing companies.

- Regarding development trends:


The strength of TDK is also reflected in the constant updating of information,
innovation in the approach to work to meet practical needs, in compliance with

1.1.1. Weaknesses of TDK


- About organization and management:
TDK organizes management in a centralized and decentralized manner, with top-
down control mainly, lacking close cohesion among departments. The superiors can
control the whole situation of the Company. However, from an individual perspective,
this separation is not beneficial in building a good image of the Company they are
attached to. Especially for the auditing industry, the level of going to work and
29
working at customers is more than in the Company, the employees of the Company
are less able to meet and work together. Therefore, the board of directors also needs to
pay more attention to creating a co-working environment, building a good image of
the Company, a spiritual dish for employees to work hard, effectively and sticking
more.
- About personnel organization:
At the time of the audit, due to the large workload and often having to travel far. A
temporary shortage of personnel is likely to occur, which is also highly dependent on
the auditor's ability to arrange an audit team and the shortage of auditing personnel is
also a common problem for the industry as a whole.

- In terms of career:
The thickness of achievements and the awards achieved can be a clear testament to the
advantages accumulated by TDK. Being a member of the TDK Vietnam Auditing
Company system does not exclude from a number of problems that may arise in the
operation due to both objective and subjective factors. Objective factors include
macroeconomic, microeconomic conditions, overlap of legal documents, increasing
competition between auditing companies. Subjective factors may be the attractiveness
of high profits, self-interest or weakness in the auditor's professional skills ...
Some of the weaknesses that exist below the small scale can be listed below of
general audit activities in Vietnam today:
Auditors work lack of independence and autonomy: The cause may be due to high
profits or auditing companies often provide accounting and auditing services, long-
term customer relationships year,... This has a certain effect on the independence of
the auditor.
Auditors reckless occupation, working skills are not high,...
3.2. Proposed solutions to complete operations at the Company
To overcome the existing weaknesses and develop strong thinking, it is necessary to
develop challenging plans in the short and long term.
In the short term, the organizational structure needs to have specific activities to create
close cohesion among the departments and employees within the Company. This can
be achieved through organizing highly collective events such as professional, sports,
entertainment, tourism, and more.
Regarding personnel activities such as preparing a good recruitment policy, policies to
support and encourage employees' capacity should be continued and paid more
attention. Auditors, assistant auditors improve their qualifications through courses
taken by ACCA, CPA, ...

30
Regarding operational quality: It is necessary to continue controlling the operation
quality according to the objective practical conditions and controlling the quality of
personnel.
In the long term, TDK needs to develop an operational strategy towards customers and
human resources. Modernizing organization and audit activities. Promote scientific
research and application of advanced technologies and audit methods into operation.
Besides, more attention to affirming TDK brand, attention to business culture,
marketing activities, professionalism and influence. There are long-term personnel
training strategies such as long courses, policies on talent remuneration, strict and
effective recruitment.

- The proposed solution with the authorities:


Complete and update the system of auditing standards to keep pace with changes of
the International Standards system.
Select and set up a system of accounting rules accurately and conveniently.
Completing the independent audit law.
Perfecting the legal system in the direction of simplifying, removing the overlap
between legal documents.
Continue to build an industrialized, modernized, healthy and sustainable economy,
strengthening trust for all stakeholders.
