General Statement of the Chinese Finance Association

The Chinese Finance Association (TCFA) is a non-profit organization aimed at facilitating the exchange of ideas, knowledge and information on education, research and practice in finance and related areas between the US and China. TCFA seeks to bring together the collective wisdom and expertise of Chinese scholars and professionals active in the fields of finance, accounting, and money & banking in an effort to help understand and develop the Chinese financial sector. It further seeks to promote rigorous academic research on financial reform issues using the foundations and methodologies of modern finance. Moreover, TCFA seeks to improve the US academic and business world's understanding of China's changing social, economic, and business environment, and in particular her financial developments. TCFA will also serve as a meeting place where interested (especially Chinese) academics and practitioners can present their views and provide their services, enabling China and US to tap into a rich and unique pool of human and professional resources.

In pursuit of these goals, TCFA will organize and sponsor a broad range of activities including original research projects, training programs, translations, publications, and international conferences. Regular member activities will be comprised of annual meetings, regular seminars & symposia, and field studies.
