Can a Husband Who Serves as Department Director Have His Wife Work as an Accountant for a Unit Under the Department?

According to Clause 3, Article 52 of the Accounting Law 2015, it stipulates the individuals who are not allowed to be accountants, including:

Father, mother, adoptive father, adoptive mother, wife, husband, biological child, adopted child, siblings of the legal representative, head, director, general director, and deputy of the head, deputy director, deputy general director in charge of financial and accounting affairs, chief accountant within the same accounting unit, except for private enterprises, limited liability companies owned by an individual, and other cases as stipulated by the Government of Vietnam.

According to this regulation, the wife of the director is not allowed to be an accountant within the director's accounting unit. However, in other units, it is permissible. In this case, subsidiary units are considered different units from the accounting unit of the Department; therefore, you can still be an accountant in the subsidiary unit of the Department where your husband is the director.

Respectfully!
