BBCIncorp Attends Corporate Governance Seminar by VNICG and ISCA

For businesses operating across jurisdictions, corporate governance involves more than understanding the requirements of individual markets. It also requires the ability to navigate different governance practices, evaluate business decisions from multiple perspectives, and maintain effective oversight as operations become more complex.

In this context, professional knowledge exchange across markets can provide valuable perspectives on how governance expectations are interpreted and applied in different business environments.

These themes were explored at a corporate governance seminar organized by the Vietnam Institute of Corporate Governance Research (VNICG) and the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA).

A professional exchange between Vietnam and Singapore

On October 27, 2026, Mr. Oliver Ng, representing BBCIncorp, attended the seminar held at the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange.

The program brought together professional perspectives from Vietnam and Singapore to discuss strengthening independent directors’ capabilities and aligning corporate governance practices.

A key highlight was the cooperation between VNICG and ISCA, including the introduction of the Independent Director Dual Programme (IDDP). The initiative combines governance expertise from both markets to support professional development and knowledge exchange.

This collaboration demonstrates how professional communities can create opportunities to connect expertise and strengthen capabilities across different governance environments.

Governance standards need to be supported by practical expertise

For businesses operating across multiple jurisdictions, understanding formal requirements is only one part of effective governance.

Differences in regulatory environments, institutional practices, and business expectations can influence how governance principles are applied. Professionals responsible for oversight must therefore be able to interpret these differences, assess potential challenges, and exercise sound judgment in their decision-making.

Independent directors play an important role in this process. Their effectiveness depends not only on their understanding of governance frameworks but also on their ability to bring independent perspectives and practical experience into boardroom discussions.

This reinforces the importance of combining formal governance standards with continuous professional development.

Cross-market learning broadens governance perspectives

Knowledge gained from different markets can help professionals understand how governance practices respond to varying business and regulatory conditions.

Rather than assuming that one approach applies universally, cross-market learning allows professionals to compare practices, exchange experience, and identify relevant insights for their own operating environments.

The VNICG – ISCA cooperation reflects this value by connecting governance expertise from Vietnam and Singapore through professional development initiatives.

For businesses with cross-border operations, a broader understanding of governance practices can also provide useful context when navigating different institutional and business environments.

Why governance needs a cross-market perspective

For BBCIncorp, the seminar offered an opportunity to engage with industry professionals, exchange perspectives, and gain further insight into the governance priorities shaping today’s business environment.

Staying connected with professional developments and knowledge-sharing initiatives helps build a broader understanding of the practices and relationships that influence businesses across markets.

As cross-border business activities continue to evolve, the ability to understand different governance environments and engage with relevant professional expertise remains an important part of navigating an increasingly complex business landscape.
