- COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course is to develop knowledge and skills in the understanding of the general legal framework, and of specific legal areas relating to business, recognising the need to seek further specialist legal advice where necessary.
Corporate and Business Law is divided into eight areas. The syllabus starts with an introduction to the overall legal system of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam such as the sources of law and the court system. It then leads into the area of the law of obligations including contract and tort, which underpin entrepreneurial activity and business transactions generally. The syllabus then covers a range of specific legal areas relating to various aspects of business of most concern to financial professionals. These are the law relating to employment and the law relating to companies. These laws include the formation and constitution of companies, the financing of companies and types of capital, and the day-to-day management, the administration and regulation of companies and legal aspects of insolvency. The final section links back to all the previous areas. This section deals with corporate fraudulent and criminal behaviour.
