The enterprises underwent two rigorous selection rounds, graded in the final round by the judging council from top managers and experts in securities, auditing, and corporate governance.

Representatives of the Top 10 Best Corporate Governance Enterprises 2024 award
According to the organizers, the evaluation process for the best corporate governance companies was based on publicly disclosed information on the companies' websites, the State Securities Commission of Vietnam, and the Stock Exchanges. Additionally, companies must comply with the legal regulations of the Enterprise Law, Securities Law, and Vietnam Corporate Governance Code of Best Practices.
This year marks a significant change in the assessment of the corporate governance awards by changing the scoring structure towards increasing the proportion of practice points to 40% (from 30% in previous years) and reducing the compliance score from 70% to 60%. This change encourages businesses to apply more international practices to corporate governance, raising the governance standards beyond compliance.
In the Corporate Governance category, 107 companies with the best corporate governance were selected for the final round, categorized by market capitalization. Among them, 37 companies belonged to the large-cap group, 34 to the mid-cap group, and 36 to the small-cap group. In the final round, the voting council selected 26 outstanding companies to award.
