Rationale Recently, in front of the background of not only the focus of the government on developing the national economy and increasing industrialization - modernization but also the trend of rapidly developing and integrating economy, Vietnamese conglomerates are both having abundant opportunities and facing with numerous challenges. Specifically, the national economy has innumerable difficulties because of the instability of international economy and politics. In addition, the manufacturing and business of conglomerates also face many challenges. Vietnamese enterprises not only must focus on innovating manufacturing, developing administering skills and improving cutting-edge technologies but also have to address financial problems which are one of factors contributing to addressing their difficulties.
Companies providing the services of financial consultancy have been born with the aim of supporting enterprises to tackle financial issues. However, financial consultancy in Vietnam in recent years has still not met the demands and the needs of enterprises, the challenges of the contemporary economy as well as not satisfy the expectation of the leaders and owners of consulting firms. This reality requires us to have to have solutions to improve and develop financial consultancy for conglomerates and corporations in the period of expansion and integration with international economies. Through evaluating the possibility of catering for the services of financial consultancy in the professional and comprehensive way, in comparison with other types, we find that stock companies are the type which has the most significant capacities for accessing and addressing issues which enterprises are facing with.
At the present time, Vietnamese stock firms are having an abundance of intractable difficulties in applying the financial consultancy for their own firms. The first rationale is the swift rocketing of the number of stock corporations besides the 2 rapid development of Vietnamese stock market. Up to the day December 31 st 2014, stock capital in all Vietnamese market was 1,128 thousand billion dong, accounting for 31. The number of stock companies in Vietnamese market were 4 in the year 2000, soaring to 105 firms established in 2009 and then declining to 83 firms through the re-structure progress.
The increasing number of stock companies had a part in making the stock market more dynamically, consolidating the stock market more strongly and bringing about more products and choices of inventors. However, increasing the number of stock companies is one of root causes making a contribution to raise difficulties for stock firms through narrowing market share. Secondly, following the route of joining WHO, since January 11 st 2012, stock companies having 100% capital from foreign countries have been established in Vietnam. Although domestic stock companies have had a long period to build their trade names, expand the customer net and improve the quality of human resources, they still have to face numerous challenges because foreign conglomerates possess copious advantages about experience and funds.
Compare to the achievement of international stock companies, the results which domestic stock companies achieved are still negligible. To be one of seven stock companies established earliest in Vietnam, VietinBankSc have affirmed their positon in the field of financial consultancy more sustainably with every passing day. In recent years, VietinBankSc have focused on the financial consultancy of enterprises and consider that this activity is their core activity and top-ranking advantage. Nevertheless, in front of many difficulties of business environment, VietinBankSc really need solutions in order to develop the activities of enterprise financial consultancy.

The overview of stock companies 1.
The definition of stock companies Stock markets is the places where stock is traded and switched. There are abundant objects involving stock markets but there are negligible individuals having capacity of analyzing and specifying the price of stock. Hence, during the process of taking shape and developing of stock markets, intermediary has become the specific and basic operating principle in stock markets and step by step, all trade in stock markets is conducted through intermediary financial organizations, most through stock companies. Following The Stock Law number 70/2006/QH11 (reforming from The law number 62/2012/QH12), stock companies are joint-stock companies, limited liability companies which are established basing on the Vietnamese rules in order to conduct trade following licenses issued by the State Security Commission of Vietnam.
Stock companies have permission to do some following trade: - To mediate stock - Privately trading stock - To issue stock - To advise stock investment 1. The roles of stock companies Up to date, the taking shape and development of Vietnamese stock market have made a significant contribution to perfecting the system of financial market in Vietnam. These achievements are obtained thanks to the considerable contributions of stock companies in supporting stock market to develop sustainably, becoming an effective channel in mobilizing capital and aid to trade stock more quickly and easily. To comprehend the essence of stock companies for stock markets, we have to understand the roles of stock company with respect to each individual subject in stock markets.
For stock markets To contribute to take shape and regulate markets The price of stock is built by markets. However, to have the final price, the purchasers and sellers must trade through stock companies because both of them do not involve the stock trade. Furthermore, stock companies also play a role in advising investment, therefore they always have a capacity for purveying information about markets and stock price to investors. Specifically, in respect of the activities of stock trade, stock companies are consultative organizations playing a role in advancing the beginning price for investors to make bid, thereby supporting them to make decisions to trade stock.
To contribute to increasethe mobility of financial property Stock markets play a role in increasing the mobility of financial property and this role of stock markets can be performed through stock companies. In primary market, by means of doing activities like consultancy to releasing and bidding, stock companies not only assist organizations to mobilize capital to expand manufacturing and trading activities but also increase the mobility of financial property of investors through mediating trade in OTC markets. In secondary markets, stock companies aid investors to conduct trade, thereby assisting them to change stock into money back and forth in an easy way. Therefore, all aforementioned activities of stock companies help to increase the mobility of financial property.
For releasing organizations Releasing organizations participate in stock markets with a view to mobilizing capital through release stock. Accordingly, through several activities like consultancy to releasing, releasing agents, stock companies play a role in aiding releasing organizations to mobilize capital successfully in stock markets. Stock companies is the intermediary organizations supporting to rotate capital from people/companies possessing capital (investors) to those demanding capital (releasing organizations). For investors Through activities like mediating, investing consultancy, managing investing lists, stock companies play a role in decreasing the price and time of trade, thereby improving the effectiveness of investing capital.
For common merchandise, purchasing and selling through intermediaries are able to increase the expenditure for purchasers and sellers. Nevertheless, for stock markets, the flexibility of stock price, as well as high risk can be able to make investors to pay more expense, effort and time to cull information before making an investing decision. Nonetheless, through stock companies, highly professional ability can help investors to invest their capital in an effective way. For market managing agencies Stock companies make a contribution towards purveying information about stock markets to market managing agencies and this role is showed through the fact that stock companies build impressions or papers of announcing information, handbills when they perform activities like releasing consultancy, bidding consultancy for releasing organizations.
As a result, investors and managing agencies can have accurate and trustful information and comments about stock reality and manufacturing activities of releasing organizations, thereby being able to make decisions. In addition, stock companies are the intermediaries performing stock trade in stock market, hence stock companies are the organizations providing information about investors and their business. Owing to this information, market managing agencies can be able to control and suppress the sway and monopoly of markets. It seems that for subjects in stock markets, stock companies have a significant part in creating the mechanism of capital mobilization, being market building organizations, making the mobility of stock and contributing to controlling the stabilization of markets, thereby having a part in promoting the development of stock markets in particular and the economy in general.
Operating models of stock companies There are two kinds of models of stock companies, including multifunctional bank company model and specialized stock company model 1. Multifunctional bank company model Commercial banks operate like subjects trading stock, insurance and money. This model is showed through 2 forms: - Total multifunctional model: one bank can directly participate in all activities of trading money, stock, insurance as well as other financial services without any individuals. It is also called Germanic-like bank model.
+ One of the advantages of this model is that banks can combine with others in abundant fields of business, thereby declining the risks in trade activities by diversifying investment. Furthermore, increasing the withstanding ability of banks in front of the volatility of stock markets is another advantage of this model. Moreover, banks can exploit their advantages in trading money with large capital, cutting-edged facilities, thereby comprehending their customers as well as enterprises when they do their professionals of granting credit and sponsoring projects. + On the other hand, this model has some drawbacks.
Firstly, one disadvantage is that banks bear responsibilities for both arranging credit and arranging business, therefore the ability of specialization is not as deep as specialized stock companies. In addition, because there are difficulties in distinguishing between bank activities and stock trade activities in the unhealthy law environment, banks easily engender the situation of capturing markets and then the varies of stock markets have substantial effects on money trade and the economy. Because aforesaid drawbacks, after the slump of stock market in the 1929 – 1933 period, most countries utilize specialized stock company model, negligible countries still apply this model. 8 - Partial multifunctional model: banks having requirementsof stock trade and insurance have to establish subsidiaries operating apart from money trade.
This model is called British-like bank model. Specialized stock company model Activities of stock trade are the responsibilities of specialized independent companies in stock field and banks do not involve in stock trade. The benefit of this model is to be able to constrain the risks for bank system, bringing about advantages for stock companies to specialize in the stock field to enhance the development of stock markets.
