About the firm
Corriford
Where capital crosses
Corriford is a financial and trade advisory firm for capital that crosses between Vietnam and the world’s major economies. Its hexagon emblem holds six businesses around one open centre, Corriford Atlas, where those who need meet those who have.
Today the firm provides independent research, project preparation and financial modelling. The businesses that require a licence will open only after the relevant licences are granted.
The emblem
The Corriford hexagon holds six blades, one for each business, turning around an open centre. That centre is the ford: the crossing where capital, technology and trade move between Vietnam and the world’s leading economies. The white gaps between the blades are information barriers that keep each business independent. Black stands for discipline, red for decisiveness.
Leadership & governance
Stewardship before scale.
The firm is led by Dr. Richard Khiem Tran, Chief Executive Officer. We hold ourselves to the discipline the world’s capital expects of the institutions it trusts: decisions that can be checked, interests that are declared, and limits we state before we are asked.
“Trust is not claimed in a brochure. It is earned one verified file at a time.”
One side of every table
Each engagement opens with a conflict check. We never act for both sides of the same project.
Know the client
Before we engage, we identify the client, its beneficial owners and the source of the project, and decline work whose purpose cannot be established.
Data held in trust
Personal data is processed under Vietnam’s Law 91/2025/QH15; project documents are received only under NDA.

Controls
The controls behind every deliverable
Independent review
A second qualified reviewer checks every model and report; the reviewer’s name appears on the deliverable. Excel models carry a reconciliation sheet against our calculation engine.
Conflicts of interest
Each engagement starts with a conflict check. We do not act for both sides of the same project, and staff declare personal interests and outside roles before assignment.
Data protection
Personal data is processed under Law 91/2025/QH15 on Personal Data Protection and Decree 356/2025/ND-CP, both effective 1 January 2026. Project documents are received only under NDA, never through public website forms.[1]
Client due diligence
Before engagement we identify the client, its beneficial owners and the source of the project, and decline work where the purpose cannot be established.
International standards
Environmental and social reviews reference the IFC Performance Standards and the Equator Principles; financial analysis reconciles VAS and IFRS where relevant.[2] [3]
Stated limits
Every deliverable lists what was not verified. Our work is not investment advice, an audit opinion or a financing commitment.
