The most successful family businesses that lasted for generations have the right family governance system and a solid family constitution. To run the family business successfully, it is important to first manage all family business stakeholders effectively. Having the right family governance framework is the answer. It’s been proven worldwide that those family owned companies who have instituted the right family governance system are stronger and more united as a family in business, better at resolving conflicts, more competitive compared to others, are able to rapidly grow their businesses, have faster and better quality of decisions and more effective with their board and stakeholders.

Resolving conflicts and uniting family members is commonly a major issue. The most effective solution to this is having a family constitution. When crafted properly, it’s a powerful tool to resolve all issues among family business members. It is the bible that everyone needs to refer to when making decisions. Make sure your family has one. It should be the first one that every family business should put in place when starting an enterprise. Embodied in this document should include what are important for everyone such as values that the family and business must uphold, the roles and responsibilities of owners, directors, and stakeholders and the rules that all must follow. In this program, we will teach you all of these including how to create family councils, address family assemblies and meetings, and resolve business issues among family members effectively.

Those who have built family business empires such as the Ford, Rockefellers, Walton of Walmart, and many others have it. Whether you are the founder, business owner, director, family business member, executive or non-executive next generation shareholder, or non-management extended relative stakeholder, this special seminar workshop will surely set you on the right course towards a long-lasting business and a harmonious relationship among stakeholders. This is highly recommended for all members of the family.

This 1.5 days special program will feature CGBP Family Business Center program director Ricardo Hizon Mercado, MBA. He is the founder of the Family Business Development Center, John Gokongwei School of Management of the Ateneo de Manila University where he taught for 15 years and was its director until September 2009.

CGBP to Hold Seminar for Audit Committees

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

A crucial part of a board’s effectiveness is to fully understand the function of its audit committee whose chairmanship is normally assigned to a board director. With the SEC’s mandatory requirement for corporations’ board of directors to practice good corporate governance comes the importance of having a functioning audit committee headed by a member of the board. With this in consideration, the Center of Global Best Practices has come up with a program called “Board Directors’ Guide for Audit Committees” to help board chairpersons, directors, members of top management, CFOs, auditors, and accountants understand what audit committees do and don’t do. The event will be held on July 21 & 22, 2011 at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City.

This CPE-accredited program is a very useful guide that includes the top 10 best practices for audit committees, how to craft the working program and agenda aligned with the audit committee charter, how it should relate to the board and have a constructive relationship with management, reading and spotting key issues in audit reports, special investigation and financial reporting function, risk assessment protocols and tools, and solutions to challenges and problems faced by audit committees.

Participants of this seminar will get free templates and practical reference materials that they can use and apply immediately to simplify their work and save time in crafting an audit committee program. This seminar is for those who are really serious about improving the effectiveness of the board and audit committees’ performance.

This seminar will feature top CPAs and auditors. The first lecturer is Atty. Rosario S. Bernaldo, CPA, MBA, who is the president of the Corporate Governance Institute of the Philippines (CGIP). She is the founder and managing partner of law and accounting firms, Bernaldo, Directo and Po Law Offices and R.S. Bernaldo and Associates, which comprises more than 120 accountants and lawyers.
Another lecturer is Lilian S. Linsanga, CPA, CIA, CFE, CCSP, who is the partner-in-charge and head of Specialist Advisory Services Division of Punongbayan and Araullo. She has over 25 years of experience in the audit of local and multinational companies in various industries. She headed P&A’s audit division until 2008. Presently, she is the president of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.

The third lecturer is Juan Carlos B. Robles, CPA, CIA, CFE, CISA, who concurrently holds 3 positions at Punongbayan and Araullo as chairman of its audit committee, partner of risk management and partner of specialist advisory services division. He has over 20 years of combined experience in public accounting, government auditing, internal audit, forensic audit, risk management and business consulting. He is a CPA both in the U.S. and the Philippines.

Surviving Tax: How to Face the Complexities of Tax in Europe

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011

Patrick Ellingsworth, the Chairman of the marcus evans European Tax Summit 2011 addresses some of the many issues troubling tax directors in Europe.
Interview with: Patrick Ellingsworth, Former Chair Taxation Committee, BIAC-OECD, Trustee, IBFD

Montreux, Switzerland, January 11, 2011 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Complexities and opportunities seem to multiply constantly when it comes to tax. Trying to address an ever changing tax environment, changing regulation and legislation, and pressures to be more transparent and commercially viable are taxing taxation executives. Patrick Ellingsworth, the Chairman of the marcus evans European Tax Summit 2011 in Montreux, Switzerland, 13 – 15 March, shares his thoughts on the challenges facing tax executives, how they can minimise their exposure to tax risks and the latest developments in transfer pricing.

What are the top tax risks in Europe?

Pat Ellingsworth: A major risk relates to the increased coordination of tax authorities. This is impacting the exchange of information practices between countries, but also, the tax authorities are exchanging information about tax planning techniques and how taxpayers have been structuring their businesses to minimise taxes. The exchange of information and coordination of techniques has made it more difficult for taxpayers to know what works and what does not.

The principal technique for dealing with this is to engage actively with tax authorities, to know what concerns them and what matters they are coordinating on. When there is a dispute they will know how to approach and resolve issues, and what areas authorities are likely to focus on in an audit. Exchange of information with tax authorities is generally a good idea, as long as the tax administration is forthcoming with respect to their perspective as well.

The other risk is what I call the “US risk”; the US has for a long time had very detailed tax rules on just about everything, and that practise has been taken up by a number of other jurisdictions in Europe. The tax authorities are each adding their variation to the rules, and as a result, taxpayer planning across borders is more complex and somewhat less certain.

What are the major developments in transfer pricing at the moment?

Pat Ellingsworth: The major one is the broad reconsideration of the taxation of intangibles, brands and the like. It is not clear how this will turn out, but more coordination among tax authorities is inevitable. Another development is the increased emphasis of tax authorities on documenting transfer pricing positions in advance. Adjustments have been proposed by tax authorities solely on the grounds that the taxpayer did not file the documentation at the time the audit commenced.

What are your projections for the coming few years?

Pat Ellingsworth: Two areas are going to be major topics for discussion, one relating to permanent establishments and whether or not taxable in the other countries, and if they are, what is the computation of the income. The OECD has two major projects dealing with this and companies will have to adapt practises to deal with any new rules.

The second area is value added tax; Europe is finally looking at whether cross-border rules are coordinated and efficient. This is especially welcome for some companies, as value added tax is a very expensive proposition and the ability to administer it more efficiently would significantly improve cost structures.

Human Capital Management 2009

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

“Strategy must be created from the future backwards,not the present forwards.”,Gary Hamel,Management Thinker on foresight, strategy and innovation.(www.rogerdennis.com)

Participants rated recruiting and retaining human capital as the biggest challenge for 2009, at the Jacob Fleming HR forum 2008. Reduced man-force against the same work-load is the issue that HR is facing in today’s financial crisis. In this very crisis lies an opportunity for HR to prove its integral role in business operations.

Being named a strategic team member in your organization isn’t enough. Performance is key for HR credibility. How can you retain and strengthen your talent pool without compromising your budget? How can you source into the Middle East the huge talent pool available in the U.S. and Europe that resulted from the crisis ?

The temporary solution of laying-off people will pose a much bigger problem in the coming fiscal years. Learn to let go of personnel without burning your bridges. The economy will inevitably rise. Stabilize your talent assets for the time when business operations expand.

Fleming
Gulf presents in response to the latest HR demands,
Human Capital Management Forum 2009 in
Dubai, 19-21 May, Dubai-UAE 2009.

Find the opportunity in the crisis by investing in strategies that will strengthen talent management. Turn our academic breakthrough into physical results. Smart-size. Don’t down-size.
