UHY GLOBAL JANUARY 2019 WORD OF WELCOME WORD OF WELCOME


I am delighted to welcome readers to the latest digital edition of UHY Global. As the new incoming chairman of UHY, it is a particularly exciting time for me to share with you some of our views and experiences through this online business magazine. This edition has all the great content of our print version (which you can download as a PDF from the toolbar), but online we have added extra material, so you can explore further. There are also click-throughs to related content and you can email our UHY contributors directly, to find out more! I wish you all the best for a prosperous and rewarding year ahead. CHALLENGE AND OPPORTUNITY As the saying goes, ‘there is no place quite like home’, which for me is the United States. And yes, mine is a country experiencing unprecedented change, both domestically and on the international stage. But as a network present in over 95 other countries, UHY member firms and their clients remind me every day that although business is never certain and change is constant, the truth is that wherever in the world you operate there will always be challenges and opportunities. This is a theme running through much of UHY Global. From mining – an industry very much in recovery – to technology-driven entrepreneurship which looks set to make its mark on healthcare, professional services and many other sectors, opportunity is all around. I find this inspiring and take enormous pride in the attitude and energy shown by our member firms, who work tirelessly to ensure our clients can safely and successfully navigate change and achieve their goals. Our regular Cogs & Wheels feature considers some of the ways UHY member firms work together to build this client-focused culture across the network; while our Perspectives roundtable brings together some of our China experts who discuss the cultural challenges and opportunities in working with Chinese companies at home and abroad, an area of significant potential growth for internationally-minded businesses. Keeping it in the family showcases two UHY clients, both multiple generation family businesses, and both enjoying a long-established relationship with their UHY member firm advisors. Respect, trust, friendship and success define these stories. My aim as international chairman is to ensure these values are embedded in the UHY brand for every client, everywhere. Our feature on brand for business also highlights the importance of consistency and customer experience, learning from the example set by the resilient luxury goods and services sector. Finally, please feel free to contact me directly at rdavid@uhy-us.com if our network can be of further assistance to you. Richard David Chairman, UHY International FINDING YOUR WAY AROUND ABOUT THE TOOL BAR You will find all the key buttons on the toolbar at the top of your screen, though layout may vary on different devices and browsers. For example, touch-screen devices may use gestures instead of buttons, for certain features. FINDING YOUR WAY AROUND You can move forwards or backwards through the magazine by clicking the < arrows > at the side of each page, or from the toolbar. It is easy to go straight to the article of your choice from the UHY Global IN THIS ISSUE contents page ( < previous page). You can also use the toolbar thumbnail gallery or the drop-down menu. ARTICLES AND EXTRAS Each page features scrollable text boxes and tabs. These may contain links to extra pop-up content – text, images, video – or may open an external link in a new browser window. PAGE ZOOM This edition has been designed for tablets as well as desktop or laptop screens. Most content is readable without having to zoom in and out, but for devices with smaller screens, or touch-screens, you may prefer to do so. You can zoom with a pinch or mouse scroll: click on a blank area of the page without a text box to enable zoom – the top section or right hand edge of any page will work well. Click/hold and drag the page into the best position for your most comfortable read. Or you can use the toolbar to jump to a bigger view. DOUBLE PAGE AND FULL WIDTH To view consecutive pages side by side (on large screens) use the book tool. For maximising your device's screen width, use the full width tool. SHARE WITH A COLLEAGUE It is easy to email a page link to a friend or colleague. Simply click on the toolbar share icon. DOWNLOAD THE A4 MAGAZINE UHY Global is also available as a 24-page non-interactive printed magazine in a standard A4 format. Click on this toolbar icon to download it as a PDF. MAKE YOUR OWN NOTES You can add sticky note comments to pages and also bookmark them for future reference, using the notebook and star icons. Your bookmarked pages will be listed in the thumbnail gallery.
