Day 4 - Industrial and Commercial Bank of China
After that, we rushed off for the last company visit. It was not actually a company visit, rather, it was more of a presentation given by the manager of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. It was a rather short session and as usual, it ended off with a Q&A session.
Day 4 - Mengniu Dairy Co Ltd
After lunch, we headed off for the second company visit in Beijing, Mengniu Dairy Co Ltd. It was one of the more well-known dairy brands in China. The tour guide brought us through the manufacturing process. In a way, it was similar to the Yakult Factory--there was only a small amount of manpower in the required in the manufacturing line.

Was it just the Yakult Factory and the Mengniu Dairy Co Ltd that required low manpower, or was it all dairy industry that relied heavily on machines? That I do not know, but I assume that most F&B products would require low manpower to reduce the contact between the people and the products. In a sense, it was more hygienic since there would be lesser chances of bacterial introduction.
After the tour, there was a Q&A session and we were all given an ice cream.

Day 4 - PwC
We started the day by going to PwC (PriceWaterHouse Coopers), one of the big four accounting firms.
The talk was very interesting but a little hard to understand since it was in Mandarin. It was not my strongest language so I was rather thankful for the English translation on the slides. The 2 speakers who introduced PwC to us where from the tax department. As tax consultants, they also went into detail about taxes in China. We were then able to compare the differences in taxes between China and Singapore.
Another speaker, Irene. a partner of PwC was introduced to us in the middle of the presentation. She was working in Singapore for many years before joining PwC. She had been with PwC for 14 years and is currently a partner of PwC. She answered all our questions and shared with us her experiences and views of PwC. She also made a comparison between China's corporate tax rates and Singapore tax rates.
It was a good opportunity for us to learn more about the firm and their day-to-day operations. PwC was not just a mere accounting firm like what I had thought it to be, rather, it was more like a firm that provided numerous services ranging from accounting to IPO services. It was then that I started having the thought that maybe most, or even all big companies cater to more than one industry.
As an Accountancy student, I have benefited greatly from the trip to PwC. It provided a valuable insight to an accounting firm and also what to expect should I continue to work as accountant. The speakers also heightened our knowledge of accounting and tax. For me, it was more like a talk introducing us to the corporate world, to open our eyes to the accounting industry.
