8. About jobs
- Carry out requests about bank transfer and upload it to system
- First, determine the method of declaration (deduct or direct) and the declaration
period (month or quarter), quarter revenue of the preceding year of 50 billion VND
or less, quarter month send a document (Form 07/VAT) to the tax office within
the deadline for submitting the first month's VAT return
9. IFRS vs VAS
- First, in terms of quantity, VAS has only 26 standards. While there are 41 IAS
standards and 16 IFRS standards. Thus, VAS will not have accounting standards
equivalent to IAS/IFRS.
- VAS aims to measure at cost. IAS/IFRS aims to fair value
- IAS is not imposed in terms of forms such as: Chart of Account, Accounting form,
Ledgers which are free to use the account system as well as accounting forms that
are suitable and convenient to the characteristics of the business.
For example, businesses applying VAS, cash will have to have an account number of
111, while businesses applying IAS/IFRS can freely set a number for this account
- VAS currently has no regulations allowing assets and liabilities to be revalued at their
fair value at the reporting time. The absence of relevant standards reduces the
truthfulness and reasonableness of the financial statements and is not consistent
with IAS/IFRS.
Project to convert from vas to apply ifrs according to decision number 345
Phase 1, voluntary application (2022 to 2025)
Phase 2, mandatory application (after 2025)
10. Orients in future

a professional multinational working environment, being guided and trained to apply
the knowledge I have learned in hands-on business environment, besides improving
English, taking the TOEIC test with at least 700 points and learning another foreign
language - maybe Japanese– to support my career. In the same time, I will graduate on
time with a good degree.
After the internship, I will be an official employee of the company, contributing as much
as possible to the company's success, in addition to improving my professional skills.
Within five years, I determine to study and take the CPA Australia certification, apply for
higher positions in the industry such as general accountant or even chief accountant for
a large scale company. And in the not too distant future, Chief Finance Officer (CFO) is a
desirable destination if I can achieve it.
11. Update

12. Case
- To say confidently is not completely because it also depends on many factors such as
the customer's business characteristics, the level of complexity as well as the
relationship with the company. However, I will try my best, learn more supporting
information as well as learn from my superiors to complete the assigned work as
best as possible.
- Listen and accept all customer complaints sincerely. Be empathetic and don't try to
make excuses about the customer's problem. Treat guest’s complaints as a sincere
suggestion, not a criticism. Cleverly ask delicate questions to understand what
customers want and need I to fix. Assure the customer that I will try to fix it so that
the customer can rest assured and continue to choose the company.
13. I have some questions for you
First, Can you tell me what criteria the company consider an intern to become a full-
time employe
Second, Does the company support the data as well as confirm the internship
report?
Finally, How long will it take for me to know the results of the interview?
14. Teamwork
That was when my friends and I worked in groups for the subject “Business Ethics” in
the university.
At this point, I was the leader of a group of 4 people. As a team leader, I made detailed
plans and assigned tasks to everyone. All preparations were perfect until the
presentation day, some problems happened.
One member due to health reasons and one member lost internet connection so they
couldn't give a presentation. At that time, I and the remainder member had to share
presentations and everything happened spontaneously. Despite a few troubles, the
presentation went well and our team got 8.5 points.
And this is a memory that I will never forget.
15. Work under pressure
Because of my difficult circumstance, during 3 years in university, I had to work a lot of
part-time jobs to cover my living costs as well as support my family.
Therefore, to maintain good academic performance as well as participate in activities
besides these jobs is very important to me.
I always make detailed plans for each subject, arrange the tasks in order of priority, and
allocate resources appropriately.
As a result, over the years, all living expenses and tuition, I have been self-financed
besides the academic results and awards that I have achieved.
