This is even truer when the subsidiary is in a country that Head Office doesn\u2019t fully understand or operates to different cultural and business norms.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst China is better understood in 2020 than it was when Western businesses first started operating there, the factors that make doing business overseas riskier will still apply, along with some China-specific considerations.<\/p>\n<p>This article draws upon many years\u2019 collective experience of audit and risk management relating to Chinese subsidiaries. It looks at both corporate auditing and other types of monitoring business activities in China.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Whilst China is better understood in 2020 than it was when Western businesses first started operating there, the factors that make doing business overseas riskier still apply<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Due diligence<\/h2>\n<p>Although you will understand your Chinese business \u2013 and its management, joint venture partner, other stakeholders \u2013 better if you regularly spend time there, it is not a country where you should rely solely upon your own due diligence. Local knowledge and the ability to dig out information that would only really be available to someone permanently in China, and with investigative networks to call upon, will provide insight that a foreigner would never get.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst trust and business relationships are crucial in building a successful Chinese business, take nothing for granted. As a rule of thumb, even the basics need to be checked. Some of those relationships will be managed \u2013 and potentially mismanaged, whether deliberately or inadvertently \u2013 at a local level. War stories abound, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bank certificates sent to auditors that confirm balances at the request of management, but bear no relation to the amounts in the bank account<\/li>\n<li>Tax liabilities based on informally agreed positions with a local tax authority, which cannot be relied upon if challenged<\/li>\n<li>Companies that were being prepared for listing on an overseas stock exchange, including London, that turned out to be elaborately fabricated (such as the fully-functioning factory in China that was visited by the reporting accountants\u2019 team \u2013 and which had been completely decommissioned and closed when they decided to revisit unannounced three days\u2019 later)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In certain industries, such as telecommunications and education, the ownership of a local license needs to be held by a local individual or entity. Variable Interest Entities (\u201cVIEs\u201d) were sometimes used to provide economic ownership by a foreign parent, with legal ownership in local hands. This structure allowed consolidation of the economic interests, however, risked the loss of control of the assets locally, without legal protection (which is not surprising, since the structure was designed to get around a legal barrier!).<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the statutory audit and professional support available in China, the profession has developed a lot since the opening up of the Chinese free-market economy. Initially, in order to raise auditing standards to reflect the requirements of the capital markets, China encouraged the international accounting networks to invest in and grow local audit practices, whilst restricting the market share of any single network and, over time, reducing the number of non-Chinese partners they could have. The result is that China now has a larger number of broadly similar-sized firms than might be seen in most Western countries \u2013 though the magnetic pull of the global client reach and advisory capability of the larger networks can be seen in China too.<\/p>\n<h2>Cultural awareness<\/h2>\n<p>There are some cultural aspects that can be seen in client\/adviser and other business relationships in China:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The business professions are \u2018young\u2019 in China, and businesspeople are used to paying for results, rather than assurance or advice (except from academics, given Chinese respect for learning)<\/li>\n<li>Hierarchy is very important, so decision-making gets pushed all the way to the top of the organisation<\/li>\n<li>Questioning, scepticism and challenge are less encouraged by schooling and societal norms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>\nThe business professions are \u2018young\u2019 in China, and businesspeople are used to paying for results, rather than advice<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Keeping it in country<\/h2>\n<p>A final practical difficulty can be seen when there is a group audit, which includes a significant component inside China. Auditing standards require the Chinese component to be audited, with a responsibility on the parent company auditor to review that work. China does not allow business records, including audit working papers relating to Chinese companies, to leave the country; this usually requires the parent auditor to visit China to conduct a file review.<\/p>\n<p>The current Covid-19 pandemic has made travel to carry out such audit file reviews impractical, which could result in delays to audit finalisation or audit qualifications due to a \u2018limitation of scope\u2019. Auditors are seeking workaround solutions, such as screen-sharing with colleagues in China, as a substitute for a physical file inspection; although not easy, this might even become an accepted practice in future, reducing travel cost and carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s that time of the year when annual audits are due, so make sure your business is aware of the local laws, cultural sensitivities and the challenges of keeping documents in the correct locations, explains Simon Bevan, Head of China-Britain Services Group, Grant Thornton UK LLP International groups are used to the reality that remote businesses \u2013 even small ones \u2013 often represent a greater risk than the core business&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2369,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[207,128],"tags":[215,135,2427,146],"class_list":["post-2343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-law","category-services","tag-audit","tag-law","tag-paywall","tag-tax"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
