China boardroom update - Issue 04, February 2009
KPMG held discussions with a number of company representatives in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Chengdu to obtain an understanding of the current state of their enterprises' internal control systems; the management's general awareness and understanding of the prevailing internal control rules and regulations, in particular the Basic Standard for Enterprise Internal Control; and the difficulties and challenges of implementing internal control systems in their respective companies. Based on our understanding of the Basic Standard, KPMG has set out a compliance roadmap and other possible assistance for listed enterprises to consider.
