Abstract:	The paper aims at studying the corporate governance index applied in banks from literature review. By developing the corporate governance index (CGI) based on OECD, Basel principles, the authors suggest an index of corporate governance that could be applicable in Vietnam banks. The case of a bank –newly established, medium to large joint stock bank in Vietnam - will be used to test the appropriateness of this CGI. The results show that corporate governance index is able to reflect actual corporate governance situation of the bank and in line with its rank in size and performance efficiency (ROA) in 2010 and 2011. Transparence and disclosure is found to be the weakest. The detailed results of this CGI could be useful not only for the Bank's Board of Directors but also investors and policy makers. Implications includes (i)an suggestion to include more questions to evaluate quality of corporate governance, (ii) Scoring the CGI requires an indepth qualitative assessment, (iii) great efforts from policy makers, banks' directors should be made to improve transparency and disclosure.
