Fraud Risk Management: Addressing and Mitigating Fraud Risk in China
One of the cornerstones of President Xi Jinping’s administration is cracking down on corruption. This unprecedented anti-corruption effort throughout China has exposed a business culture in both the public and private sectors that is plagued with fraud. Multinational companies operating in China have now been put on notice that China’s enforcement agencies will not tolerate corruption and other fraud. Changes on China from abroad may present similar risks. While some governments, such as the Trump Administration, remain openly critical of Chinese imports, currency manipulation, and other business practices, U.S. and UK enforcement agencies of all kinds are turning greater attention to multinational companies that operate in – and source from – China. Foreign companies in China have strong incentives to strengthen their internal controls and improve their capacity to monitor Chinese fraud. Our speaker will discuss the following topics: (1) Current fraud trends and the anti-corruption campaign in China; (2) How to identify and detect red flags that may be apparent from headquarters;(3) Recommendations for multinational companies to mitigate fraud schemes in China; and (4) Best practices multinational companies should consider in responding to fraud.
