Asia Pacific The National Outsourcing Association China continues to attract an increasing volume of offshore outsourcing business. The attractions are obvious: low cost, a very large labour pool, reliable infrastructure, diversifying risk away from India and a strong educational background. This increased volume comes despite a regulatory regime that is less friendly to overseas business interests than that found in other popular offshore locations. This presentation, jointly hosted by Morrison & Foerster and the UK's National Outsourcing Association, will examine aspects of that commercial and regulatory regime and, based on practical case study examples, will demonstrate which issues should continue to concern companies exploiting the Chinese market and which issues can be easily resolved - and how to do so.

DISCUSS: • How to protect IP, trade secrets/confidential information and deal with data security issues. • The business environment, language and cultural issues affecting offshore outsourcing projects outsourcing projects in China. • The increasing capabilities of local Chinese vendors. • How to deal with dispute resolution and enforceability issues. • How to deal with these issues by practical measures from long-time China experts. • The attitude of the Chinese government to the outsourcing industry. • The ways an outsourcing deal in China looks different. • Strengths and weaknesses of China as an offshore location.

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.
