Global China Practice

Global China Practice helps business capture investment opportunities

China, BRIC's economic powerhouse, holds tremendous implications for the business plans of existing and potential clients.

As China has ascended to become the world's second-largest economy, investment by multinationals in China, as well as outbound investment by Chinese companies, continues to grow rapidly.

KPMG's Global China Practice is a global network, across more than 40 of KPMG's member firms, with teams of China experts, cross-border investment advisors, and Mandarin speakers providing services to China inbound and outbound investors.

For inbound investors, the pace of change of the business and regulatory environment in China can pose many challenges. As Edwin Fung, Global Chair of KPMG's Global China Practice points out:

"Investment success in China requires a deep understanding of the various regions, business practices, and culture as well as how new laws and regulations will impact business. The Global China Practice enables KPMG member firms to provide advisors to their clients locally to help with this process."

For China-headquartered businesses investing in new markets, the Global China Practice can provide direct access to Chinese professionals with KPMG member firms in key countries. These professionals can help Chinese companies through every step of their outbound investment strategy, from bridging the language and cultural gap and navigating the complexities of overseas markets, to providing transaction and post-integration services.

Helen Zhi: Supporting Chinese clients in the United Kingdom and Australia

I started my career in China, spending five years with the Foreign Affairs Office.

In 2005, after getting my MBA, I joined KPMG's UK firm in London focusing on investments from China into the United Kingdom. The timing was very good, because outbound investment by Chinese companies was just beginning to pick up and in the United Kingdom, we saw a huge wave of Chinese banks investing in London.

There is an extensive process for a foreign bank to get financial authority approval for a subsidiary in the UK. KPMG has been a leader in the UK in helping large Chinese banks and financial institutions through this process and then continuing to support their businesses post authorization.

I've recently moved to join the China Practice for KPMG Australia, which has become one of the top destinations for Chinese outbound investments.

The Global China Practice provides Chinese clients with a cultural bridge to overseas advisors and helps our specialist teams in KPMG member firms to better understand the needs of Chinese clients. Experience gives us knowledge and the ability to provide support that clients truly value.
