Corporate Compliance Audits

Most compliance failures are not deliberate. They accumulate quietly — a licence that was never amended after the business changed, labour contracts on an outdated template, invoices that will not survive scrutiny. An audit finds them before an inspector does.

Wise Counsel conducts compliance reviews for Vietnamese and foreign-invested companies, identifying gaps and setting out what must be corrected, in what order and by when.

What we help with

• Reviewing licences and registrations against the activities actually carried out
• Checking that corporate records, resolutions and registers are complete and valid
• Labour compliance review — contracts, internal rules, working time and social insurance
• Foreign employee compliance — work permits, residence cards and tax registration
• Reviewing tax filings, invoices and supporting documentation for inspection readiness
• Data privacy compliance, including consent, transfers and incident procedures
• Reviewing standard contracts and terms of trade for enforceability
• Producing a prioritised remediation plan with owners and deadlines

The value of an audit is in what gets fixed afterwards. We give a plan the company can actually execute, not a list of every technical breach.
