Event Details

Due diligence is an essential element of an effective compliance program, and key to mitigate channel partner-related risks.

Join AmCham China’s newly formed Compliance Committee for its very first panel event, and explore the important question of vetting and due diligence in China with foremost industry experts. Randall Phillips from the Mintz Group and Iain Young from Hill & Associates will present on their companies' experiences. Christopher Mortorff from Microsoft will moderate.
