That is the information given by Mr. Dao Cong Thang, Acting General Director of Saigon Jewelry Company Limited - SJC (SJC Company) at the socio -economic press conference in Ho Chi Minh City on the afternoon of June 26.
Firstly , regarding the recommendation to comply with legal regulations in gold trading activities, SJC Company has issued regulations on buying and selling gold, but during the transaction. However, when SJC staff asked the buyer to provide ID card, the buyer only read the number instead of presenting the ID card to the staff.
"This leads to misreading of numbers or staff recording incorrect CCCD numbers. When the State Bank came to check and compare information, they found some cases with incorrect CCCD numbers," SJC leaders shared.
Therefore, SJC has issued new revised regulations. Employees require customers to make a photocopy of their ID card to get the address information of the person making the transaction or buying and selling. On June 10, SJC reported to the State Bank.
Second , regarding compliance with the reporting regime, SJC Company has implemented and strictly complied with the reporting regime to the State Foreign Exchange Reserve Management Department of the State Bank of Vietnam (daily reports and weekly summary reports) according to the required form.

Third , regarding compliance with legal regulations on anti-money laundering, previously, SJC Company implemented anti-money laundering work and developed related regulations, but they were not as systematic as the State Bank and were not as required.
"Therefore, SJC has paid the fine to correct this error," the SJC leader stated. At the same time, the company has sent a document asking the Anti-Money Laundering Department to guide SJC in implementing anti-money laundering activities as well as issuing regulations and procedures for handling when there are signs. The competent department has also sent staff to train the company.
Fourthly, regarding compliance with legal regulations on accounting, creating and using invoices and documents, SJC leaders said: In the beginning, when implementing electronic invoices, some SJC employees were confused and did not perform correctly. When there were errors, employees did not know how to handle incorrect invoices and documents. Therefore, the company is rebuilding the process, clearly instructing employees on how to correct or cancel incorrect electronic invoices.
In addition, some documents in gold processing activities between the company and customers were recorded as sales transactions, leading to accounting errors. The company has also corrected this error.
Fifth , regarding internal procedures and setting daily gold buying and selling prices, based on the Law on Prices dated June 19, 2023 and applying the price comparison method, SJC has issued procedures for determining the buying and selling prices at the beginning of the day as well as prices at each time.
Thus, according to the Acting General Director of SJC, the enterprise has almost completely resolved the recommendations from the State Bank. As for the items on anti-money laundering and invoice processing procedures, SJC is still in the process of completion and has not yet completed.
SJC representative also said that the recommendations of the State Bank in the previous inspection conclusion pointed out the shortcomings of the enterprise, not violations.
“Some of the contents in the inspection conclusion have been transferred to the investigation agency for handling. Up to this point, I can answer that SJC has not committed any violations, nothing serious, only shortcomings,” he said.
Previously, in May, the State Bank of Vietnam Inspectorate issued an inspection conclusion on compliance with policies and laws in gold trading activities at SJC Company.
SJC Gold Company was 'exposed' for violations regarding invoices and taxes, showing signs of criminal violations. Immediately after the direct inspection ended, the State Bank of Vietnam issued a document transferring information about the violation of the invoice regime, accounting documents, and taxes with signs of criminal violations at SJC Company to the Ministry of Public Security for verification, investigation, and handling.
