Vietnam is emerging as a strategic destination for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in Southeast Asia, especially attracting investors from Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and EU countries. The period from 2025–2026 is expected to be a dynamic one with numerous opportunities, thanks to economic recovery, institutional reforms, and global capital flow shifts. However, to seize these opportunities, investors need to understand key sectors and conduct thorough financial and legal due diligence.

In every M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) transaction—especially for foreign investors entering emerging markets like Vietnam—conducting Financial & Tax Due Diligence is a mandatory step to identify risks, determine the actual value, and ensure transparency for the transaction. In Vietnam, this process requires a deep understanding of the Vietnamese Accounting Standards (VAS), a legal framework that is still evolving, and varying levels of transparency among enterprises. Therefore, designing a thorough, systematic, and locally adapted due diligence process is a key factor for ensuring deal success.

Although financial and tax due diligence is a mandatory process in any M&A transaction, the process itself still carries significant risks—especially in the context of target companies operating in emerging markets, which often lack transparency, stability, and have complex legal environments. Early identification of risks and the implementation of effective preventive measures can help investors not only protect the transaction’s value but also avoid post-M&A disputes that may negatively impact long-term business strategies.
