Wiley today announced ‘Due Diligence in China: Beyond the Checklists’, a
veteran’s firsthand account of conducting due diligence in China
featuring current and relevant content straight from the horse’s mouth
for accountants, lawyers, private equity practitioners and business
managers looking to determine the benefits and liabilities of a proposed
investment on Chinese businesses.
The author, Kwek Ping Yong, has more than twelve years of private
equity investment experience in China. He started his first USD
China-focused growth fund in 2001 and has made more than thirty
investments there, across various industries including manufacturing,
mining, energy, food and beverage, and the retail sector. He has planned
and executed many successful exits through trade sales and pre-IPO
transactions; and performed hundreds of full due diligence exercises,
pre- to post-investment, for Chinese companies.
The book goes beyond providing discussions on traditional methods of
conducting due diligence on Chinese companies. It provides the
facilitation of conducting human due diligence on owners and the upper
management, which is often left out from the conventional checklists.
Other insightful topics which are covered in the book include:
-
An overview of the business landscape in China and discussions on the
unique characteristics of doing business in China
-
Getting to know the nature of a Chinese business environment with the
four deadly A’s: Authorization, Abnormalities, Anticorruption, and
Accounting fraud
-
Comprehensive and practical tools for evaluating Chinese companies
with additional focus on dealing with personal, professional,
political and social relations between internal people or groups and
external parties
Additional materials include: due diligence checklists on financial,
tax, operational, legal and environmental; an original Anti-Corruption
Investigative Due Diligence (ACID) framework; and case studies in each
chapter to emphasize the key learning areas.
The book also comes with a companion website (www.wiley.com/go/ddinchina)
that provides latest updates on due diligence-related information,
checklists, tools and diagrams for download.
