Final-year Accounting and Auditing student at Vietnam National University, Hanoi — working toward professional practice in tax advisory and assurance.
My name is Chau Nguyen, and I work where accounting rules meet the decisions a business actually has to make — in the ledger, in the contract, and in the tax return.
I am a final-year student of Accounting, Analyzing and Auditing at the International School, Vietnam National University, Hanoi. My focus is personal income tax, assurance, and the contract and compliance work that sits underneath both.
Over the past three years I have maintained the general ledger for a technology company, drafted MoUs and NDAs with international partners, prepared the briefing and budget file for a United Nations convention signing ceremony reviewed by Vietnam's cybersecurity authority, and taught internet safety to more than five hundred schoolchildren. In July 2026 I led Team Six Eight to first place at ACCA Virtual Finhack across Southeast Asia.

The competition
Three rounds over two months, each judged on whether a financial-recovery plan was sustainable, innovative and genuinely executable for a business in crisis.
Competing against teams from across the region, Team Six Eight came through as winner. I led it — setting strategy, matching work to each member's strengths, and holding the team steady under deadline.

I write to work out what a rule actually means once it reaches a payroll spreadsheet or an audit file. Most of these notes started as things I could not find a clear answer to.
Personal income tax attaches to the month a payment is made, not the month the payslip covers — a distinction most payroll teams still collapse.
ReadMore than three in every ten dong lent in Vietnam now passes an environmental screen. Environmental governance has become a financial control.
ReadFraudulent transfers now clear multiple banking layers in under a minute. Looking backward through the audit trail arrives far too late.
ReadPolicy is easier to read once you have heard the people who write it explain why. These are the forums and institutions whose work I have followed closely over the past year.
Say hello
Open to internship and graduate opportunities in audit, assurance and tax advisory — in Hanoi, and with teams working across borders.
