Are actual time of working experience for issuing APC in Vietnam certified?
Are actual time of working experience in finance, accounting or auditing for issuing APC required to be certified by the place where I used to work in Vietnam? Please advice.
Clause 2 Article 4 of Circular 296/2016/TT-BTC provides for determination of actual time of working experience in finance, accounting or auditing in Vietnam as follows:
2. Determination of actual time of working experience in finance, accounting or auditing:
a) The actual time of working experience in finance, accounting or auditing is the period of time that the registrant has worked in the field of finance, accounting or auditing at the agencies, organizations or units (hereinafter referred to as employers) where he/she have been recruited or have entered into employment contracts in conformity with the working time of these employers;
b) The actual time of working experience in finance, accounting or auditing will be accumulated from the date of issue of the bachelor’s degree to the submission date of the application for issuance of APC, round date to the nearest month;
c) The actual time of working experience in finance, accounting or auditing must be certified with seal by the employers where the registrant has actually worked. If the said employer has undergone dissolution, bankruptcy, total or partial division, acquisition, amalgamation or conversion of ownership or business entity, an explanation enclosed with proof of the actual time of working experience in finance, accounting or auditing at the employer and copies of social insurance book, employment contract and the hiring decision are required.
Thus, according to the above-mentioned regulations, the time is determined as the actual working time in finance, accounting and auditing to issue APC, which must be certified and sealed by the agency or unit where the accountant actually works in Vietnam.
Best Regards!
