FORTHCOMING SEMINARS

"EuroFinance Conferences"
3rd Annual Conference on: Cash, Treasury and Risk Management in China
Wednesday 9th – Thursday 10th November 2005
Grand Hyatt Shanghai, PRC

China is building itself into a global competitor to rival that of America and Japan and everyone wants to be a part of the action. There are few multinational companies that are not sourcing, operating, selling into or manufacturing in China. Meanwhile Chinese companies are making a steady march into markets abroad. Quite simply, it remains the world’s most exciting place to do business at the moment and understanding how to do business effi ciently is paramount to a growth strategy here.
China is rarely viewed as a single unit to fi nance and treasury executives. Rather it is approached as a collection of regions which gives a much more accurate view of regulation, taxation and liquidity structures as well as banking capabilities. In recent years regulations have loosened considerably on cross border funds movement and cash redeployment among legal entities. At the same time, international banks are gaining a stronger toehold in the market with the ability to offer local currency services. Strategic tie-ups with local fi nance institutions mean a whole new range of products available to corporates. Local banks are rising to the challenge, improving product offering, coverage and service. A host of new cash management products are available to both domestic corporations and MNCs. The future looks bright as the effects of WTO and more deregulation will bolster capabilities of service providers. A more fl exible exchange rate and more freedom for cash and treasury management practices will also mean more products and services EuroFinance’s third annual Conference on Cash, Treasury and Risk Management in China will explore ways of doing business better and more effi ciently in the world’s most important marketplace.

Mr. Thomas Yeo, Senior Manager, LehmanBrown, will speak on "What you Need to Know Now" on Thursday 10th at 12:20.
This session will provide the most up to date view on this international accounting standard that any company with hedging needs to understand. Many elements of this standard are being rethought by authorities after continued pressure from companies and lobbying groups. The standard has in many instances caused companies to abandon or change their hedging strategies.

New laws are continually being implemented to replace outdated laws and WTO also has provided impetus for change. The circular 70 was issued on June 9, 2004 aimed at strengthening transfer pricing enforcement efforts on a nationwide basis. The circulars provide clear evidence and measures that the China's State Administration of Taxation (SAT) has become increasingly sophisticated in the transfer pricing area.

Cross Border Transactions:

Mastering the Management of Tax Planning and Transfer Pricing Seminar

With China’s entry into the WTO and the opening up of the market, more businesses have expanded their operations into China, taking advantage of lower production cost and tax incentives that are offered to foreign invested enterprises (FIEs). Cross border transactions, such as imports, the sale of goods, the provision of services, or the transfer of equipment between related companies in China are increasing.

Over 2002 we have seen a significant increase in the amount of tax reviews and investigations performed by tax authorities in various locations in the People’s Republic of China. Senior officials from the State Administration of Taxation have repeatedly mentioned the seriousness of tax compliance problems of high-earning enterprises. It seems that transfer pricing issues are at the center of the Chinese tax authorities’ attention. This makes transfer pricing an essential element in business and tax planning.

Speakers will include eminent officials from the State Administration of Taxation and the China Accounting Society.

PRC Accounting System for Business Enterprises

In January 2001, the Chinese Ministry of Finance ("MOF") adopted a comprehensive "Accounting System for Business Enterprises". As of January 2002, MOF extended the applicability of the new accounting system to foreign investment enterprises (FIE). The MOF has issued transitional provisions for FIEs to comply with the new system, including the application of 7 new standards.

Aside from these changes to basic Chinese Accounting Standards, the new system in itself provides a more rigorous and comprehensive financial reporting framework, covering definitions, concepts, standards, presentation and record keeping.

LehmanBrown is offering a 2 day training course designed to bring book-keepers, accountants, financial managers and directors, as well as other interested parties, up to date on the changes and application of the Accounting System for Business Enterprises.

The seminar will also provide updates to the taxation system in China primarily affecting Foreign Invested Enterprises as well as other key business issues including FOREX, WTO and the legal environment.
