You are currently a Vice President of company X (supposed to be any company listed on either HOSE or HNX) One of your major responsibilities is maintaining a high standard of corporate governance in the company. The company is a small but highly profitable one. The company's prominent customers include several successful first-generation entrepreneurs who have made it in the corporate world through sheer diligence and exceptional dedication to business. Over a period of time X gained a reputation for very high standards of corporate governance (CG). In fact, it is widely believed that strong adherence to high standards of corporate governance is the major factor behind their ability to retain a large number of high net worth individuals. The current and previous chairmen of the board were very particular that X continues to uphold their reputation in CG for the foreseeable future. You joined X right after completing your Bachelor's degree in finance from Academy of Banking. You had a meteoric rise in your career and quickly rose to the position of Vice President. You had achieved a reputation in the organization as a stickler for details. In addition, you had acquired systematic work habits that enabled you to accomplish a lot even when faced with tight deadlines. You are reasonably well settled in your career and in personal life. You derived satisfaction in being able to maintain good working relationships with your colleague and the members of the Board of Directors. The previous CEO appreciated your work and was instrumental in getting you well-deserved promotions. At that time, a big investor (shark) started to pay attention to your company and wanted to invest a huge amount of funds into X. Through a meeting with him, you learned that your investor was a tough and decent one. He had initially started out in the financial sector and then pursued lucrative pastures in investment baking and venture capital sectors. He had all your outstanding qualities and seemed to care greatly about details. By the end of the meeting, the investor wanted you to provide him more information about the company in a written report on his topic of interest about the firm: 1. The problem of insider trading in the firm. 2. Investor protection policies of the firm. 3. Information disclosure of the company (the means of disclosure, who the auditor is, compliance or violation of disclosure regulation, website, etc.) 4. The financial conditions of the company; projects that the company is planning to do in near future as well as the plan to mobilize and utilize the capital. 5. Ownership and trading of foreign investors of the company's shares. 1 6. Events or issues which impacted on its share price, then provide conclusion about the efficient level of stock & exchange 7. The Outlook of the economy and stock market, as well as prospects of the company and corresponding sector of the company The shark investor wanted the report to be ready by tomorrow morning. On realizing that your evening's work was spelt out just like that, you call your spouse to explain to him/her that you will not be able to make it to tonight's concert! The feeling from work experience about the meeting alarmed you that the investor is a stickler for quality in written reports. He likes his bibliographies to be properly formatted and strict adherence. Finally, you were told that he liked to work with people who go beyond the call of duty in raising issues and addressing them to the best of their abilities and expertise.
