Can a person with a Bachelor of Laws degree serve as a senior accountant?

Can a Bachelor of Law degree holder become a senior accountant?

Pursuant to Clause 4, Article 4 of Circular 29/2012/TT-BTC stipulating the standards on education and training levels as follows:

a) Possess a university degree or higher in a training major suitable to the job position requirements;

b) Possess an advanced diploma in political theory or advanced political - administrative theory or have a certificate of equivalent level of political theory certification issued by a competent authority;

c) Hold a certificate of knowledge and skills enhancement in state management for officials of senior specialist ranks and equivalents or possess an advanced diploma in political - administrative theory.

Thus, comparing these conditions, although you hold a bachelor's degree, you do not have a training major suitable to the job position requirements, so you cannot become a senior accountant.
