Abstract. The paper examines the influence of corporate governance (CG) on the earnings quality (EQ) of listed companies in Vietnam. We consider the issue of CG integrated from each component of the board and the supervisory board using the GLS regression. The data are collected at energy enterprises listed on the Vietnam stock market in 2010 - 2018, with 2162 observations. The research results have found that the board positively impacts the EQ, while the supervisory board does not affect the earnings quality. Besides the audit quality, the ratio of liabilities positively affects the EQ; in contrast to the percentage of state ownership, the company's size has an opposite effect. In addition, foreign ownership ratio, profitability do not affect the EQ. The empirical research results are a valuable basis to help companies improve the EQ, thereby helping companies consider the elements of the board and supervisory more effectively for each company
