HCM City: SOEs told to publicly disclose business information

The
request applies to all controlling, parent-subsidiary and sole-member limited
liability companies in the city.
The
move by the city was part of Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue’s
request to ministries, departments and local authorities to instruct businesses
to strictly follow Government Decree 81 dated September 2015 on information
disclosure for State enterprises.
Decree
81 stated that companies must disclose information on: their development
strategies; five-year production and business plans; annual production and
business plans; annual production and business reports and reports on the
previous three years; implementation of CSR, or corporate social
responsibility, if appropriate; annual renewal and restructuring; and
administration and organisation, as well as financial reports and reports on
salary and bonuses.
The
information will be disclosed on websites of enterprises and agencies
representing the state owner and on the enterprise information portal of the
Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI).
According
to a recent report by MPI, only 241 out of 620 SOEs have sent their reports to
the ministry to publicise their information on MPI’s business information
portal, accounting for 38.8 percent of the total. –VNA
