Een nadeel van mijn, op zichzelf interessant beroep, is dat ik heel wat het liggen in mijn dagelijks werk ontmoet. Het tegendeel aan populair gelooft het niet zo veel de advocaten is die het liggen doen. Hoewel ik moet toelaten de advocaten over het algemeen niet gemakkelijk aan deel met informatie worden overreed, laat staan de waarheid, verkies ik aan wat te denken wij zoals het bekwame uitgeven van de informatie een bepaalde versie van de waarheid doen passen. Geen kwaad in dat. Dat is welke advocaten om worden betaald te doen.

Maar om de informatie uit te geven, zult u de informatie moeten eerst verkrijgen. En dat is niet zo gemakkelijk aangezien het kan klinken. Eerst is er de filter van het gekwetste gevoel van de cliënt die het moeilijk maakt om om het even welke relevante informatie te verkrijgen. In zijn sterk geloof van de juistheid en de billijkheid van zijn eigen positie, de cliëntfilters uit om het even wat die om in zijn nadeel schijnt te zijn.

Getting prepared for your annual audit inspection

By Chris Devonshire-Ellis

All foreign invested businesses in China are required to prepare annual financial statements, including balance sheets and income statements for their annual Chinese audit. Such accounts must be in accordance with the Chinese accounting standards for business enterprises – there are now no differences between standards for domestic and foreign enterprises. Foreign companies, including their legally responsible persons, must take full responsibility for the truthfulness, legitimacy and completeness of these financial statements. These documents must be completed ahead of the submission of consolidated accounts for tax purposes by the end of April every year, for the financial calendar year ending the previous December 31.

These statements will be used for computing the taxable and distributable profit. Accordingly, an annual audit by a firm of certified public accountants registered in the PRC is required under Chinese law.
