Supply China Diversification: If Not China, Where?

WEBINAR:

Supply CHina diversification:

If Not China, Where?

Closing China Operations?

Speakers

Most U.S. companies are actively working to reduce their reliance on Chinese suppliers by identifying and qualifying alternative suppliers and third-party (3P) contract manufacturers.

The real question is: “If not China, then where?”

Our June 17 webinar, “If Not China, Where?”, will address exactly that—highlighting which countries have the supplier networks and 3P
contract manufacturing capabilities to support your business.

EWA has already mapped out a detailed comparison across six core industries. I’ll share a modified version of that analysis during the webinar and walk through the full breakdown live.

If you’re actively qualifying suppliers and 3P manufacturers beyond China, this session is a must-attend.
Speakers will include EWA Directors based in Mexico, Central Eastern Europe (Poland), Vietnam, Thailand, and Southeast Asia—each with deep, on-the-ground expertise.

              Identifying and Remediating Fraud & Corruption in China Operations

              WEBINAR:

              Identifying and Remediating Fraud & Corruption in China Operations

              What are the best Corrective Action? How to address ongoing risk

              Closing China Operations?

              Speakers

              For U.S. companies with manufacturing plants and offices in China, the risk of fraud, IP theft, and loss of customer data has increased significantly over the past four years.
              During this time, East West Associates (EWA) has primarily focused on terminating corrupt General Managers, installing interim EWA executives, and recruiting qualified professionals for permanent leadership roles.
              Most of the corrupt GMs uncovered at China facilities were engaged in serious misconduct—including embezzlement, setting up competing companies under their own names, and accepting fraudulent payments from suppliers and customers.
              Key reasons for the rise in fraud cases include:
              -Reduced oversight from U.S. or European corporate headquarters
              -A weakened Chinese economy, in part due to tariffs, leading to lower demand for China-based production
              -Escalating U.S.–China political tensions
              Join us on June 5th for a webinar co-hosted by Grant Thornton and East West Associates.
              Together, our firms will outline the best financial, accounting, and operational strategies to detect and combat fraud in China operations.
              Grant Thornton will cover how to identify fraud and calculate its financial impact.
              East West Associates will discuss how to remediate corruption through executive terminations, interim management, effective recruiting, and employee training.
