Credit institutions in Viet Nam regulated under Law on Credit Institutions(1) consist of commercial banks, non-bank credit institutions, and cooperative banks. The commercial banks are allowed to perform all types of banking activities and for profit purpose. The internal audit activity is established under direct supervision of Board of Supervisors (hereafter called BOS), which is elected by General Shareholders’ Meeting. As a consequence, the internal audit activity is expected to retain organizational independence as having direct access to Board of Directors (hereafter called BOD), BOS. | Transforming the internal audit activity An imperative need for local banks in Viet Nam -
