CFO Guide to Doing Business in China

An excellent “handbook” for the CFO. This guide will certainly appeal to those (non–Chinese) CFOs already based in China or operating remotely outside of China; what will be especially valuable is the practical guide to the process of establishing an entity there. The effective positioning of the case studies highlights/illustrates the importance of key aspects of the “bread–and–butter” issues, such items as currency control regulations accounting practices and taxation, etc. And quietly inserted throughout the book are a few words of understated but prudent words of advice. A timely reminder to the CFO that “there are no guaranteed results in China.”––Ian Butler, Regional Human Resources Director, Asia Pacific, Templeton Asset Management
"This book presents a comprehensive look at doing business in China through the eyes of a CFO. It combines China′s unique business environment with relevant, contemporary examples in the marketplace that the reader can translate into business success in China. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to or is doing business in China. It is a must–read for every CFO."––Law Kim Lee, President & CEO, Cooper Industries – China

This is a helpful guide for anybody who is investing in portfolio companies that have key operations or partnerships in the region."––Gregory L. Segall, Managing Partner, Versa Capital Management, Inc.
