A plain-English guide that demystifies the business landscape in
China from a due diligence point of view
Due diligence is crucial to any business deal, and, thankfully,
due diligence research has come a long way over the years. What
used to be a cumbersome, time-consuming process has been
standardized and systemized with generally accepted auditing
frameworks and tools, such as the all-important auditing
"checklists." But when it comes to doing due diligence in China,
with its opaque regulatory system and byzantine accounting
standards, all bets are off. In this book an acknowledged expert in
the field takes you beyond the checklists to arm you with
China-specific due diligence strategies, tools and techniques that
go beyond what is typically part of the process.
Gives a detailed account of why conventional frameworks used in
the west simply don't work in China
Provides first-hand accounts based on the author's years of
experience as a private equity professional doing deals in
China
Reviews, in-depth, the unique differences between corporations
and businesses in China and those in the West and their
implications for the due diligence process
Uses numerous case studies to guide the reader through an
entire due diligence process for a firm in China
