Webinar Outline

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, China has put in place strong border restrictions which have essentially limited international inbound travelers including those from Hong Kong. Travel restrictions have created challenges for many Hong Kong-based and international internal audit, compliance and investigation professionals in monitoring their companies’ subsidiaries, investments and business partners in China.

This webinar will focus on providing the audience an overview of the latest fraud landscape in China (including insights from the results of the PwC’s 2022 Global Economic Crime and Fraud Survey), challenges faced by the internal audit, compliance and investigation professionals amid the travel restrictions, how those challenges may be overcome to avoid losing visibility, and a sharing of recent fraud cases that prevail in China.
