In this role, PwC will provide financial advisory services in areas of budgeting, financial planning, and internal-control to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and to China’s Paralympics, BOCOG, the Chinese Olympic Committee and China’s delegation of athletes.
“In August 2008, the entire world’s eyes will be on Beijing, watching the most exciting sporting competition to be staged in China. We are committed to making the Games a spectacular event,” said BOCOG Director of Marketing Ms Yuan Bin, “and the best accounting and financial services will be required to make it a success. PwC and BOCOG will benefit from this world-class association.”
PwC’s involvement with the Beijing Olympics began as early as year 2000, when it provided financial advisory services to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Bid Committee. In 2001, after Beijing won its bid to host the 2008 Summer Games, PwC turned its attention to providing advisory services during the tender for five major Olympic venues, including what will be the Olympics’ architectural centerpiece: the National Stadium, also known as the “Nest”.
