Global Best offers seminar on LCs

MANILA, Philippines - The Center for Global Best Practices, in collaboration with the International Chamber of Commerce, will hold a seminar titled “Best Practices In Letters of Credit (LC)” on July 8 & 9, 2010, at the Edsa Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City. 

This two-day seminar is a comprehensive guide for participants on everything they need to know about LC transactions and operations. While other seminar providers may teach you about LC documentation, this program is different because it will teach attendees practical steps and valuable tips in issuing proper LCs and how they work, what to do to avoid pitfalls, and actions to take in cases of discrepancies. The program will also cover new regulations (and the application of UCP 600) involving letters of credit.           

The lecture will feature Singapore-based expert, Victor Tan, an authority in the field of trading and banking, and who has 15 years of banking experience in Europe covering areas of international trade finance, remittances, guarantees, and import and export. He has worked with various international banks such as Standard Chartered Bank, Amsterdam-Rotterdam Bank, Bangkok Bank, Royal Trust Merchant Bank and Barclays Bank, the last of which he served as deputy head of the trade finance department. He conducts highly specialized training programs for clients in Jakarta, Bangkok and Singapore. He will teach attendees all the best practices applications of LCs for one’s advantage.
