Prominent Chinese and U.S. Organizations Sponsor 2nd China International Credit and Risk Management Conference

The Association of Professionals in Finance, Credit and International Business (FCIB) will host its second conference on international credit risk management at the Everbright Convention & Exhibition Center in Shanghai, China. The 3-day conference, which begins December 7, 2005, is cosponsored by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and China’s National Office of Rectification and Standardization of Market Economic Order. Organizers include CCPIT and FCIB-China.

According to Kenneth Garrison, FCIB president, the resounding success of the first conference, held in Beijing in October 2004, led to the development of the Shanghai conference. “Trade credit is the largest source of short-term capital for corporations — no matter where in the world they are located,” said Garrison. “Our 2nd Conference in Shanghai will provide the audience an opportunity to interact with and learn from credit and financial professionals from a multitude of nations, and a variety of backgrounds and experiences.”

The Shanghai conference will focus on credit related issues from three perspectives:

1. Credit management basics
2. International trade credit
3. International bank credit

The event offers attendees the opportunity to broaden their knowledge in the use of financial analysis, information resources, securitization techniques and global best practices in order to expand global trade through the extension of trade credit.
