a high-powered delegation of Chinese finance officers will visit Edinburgh and Glasgow next week as part of a fact-finding tour by members of the Shanghai National accounting Institute.  The visit is being hosted by Scottish legal firm Dundas & Wilson, which helped design a programme that will involve meetings with companies, university business schools and public-sector agencies after an approach from the international accountancy training company Emile Woolf International.  David Knox, partner at Dundas & Wilson, said:  The Chinese government is encouraging Institute members to understand UK accounting and business practices so that they can collaborate with, and invest in, Scottish businesses.  The delegates  interests cover many areas from traditional industry through to forestry, financial services and renewables to high-tech university spin-off companies. advising these delegates is in line with Dundas & Wilson s experience of helping multinational clients on their objectives in Scotland and across the UK.  We hope that new business advising inward investors in Scotland may well follow hosting these high-ranking Chinese finance directors.  Dundas & Wilson partners will make presentations to the delegation on subjects including UK law and regulation, collaborations with utilities, renewables companies and universities.  The Chinese delegation will also hear from six doctors of science, four professors, and three Government agencies at Heriot-Watt University, University of Glasgow and at Edinburgh s Business School and BioQuarter Life Sciences Park. They will also meet a number of Scottish firms that are expanding in China.
