KPMG Huazhen, the China unit of KPMG International, has received the green light from the Ministry of Finance (MoF) to open three offices in Chengdu, Xiamen and Qingdao, the accounting firm said in an e-mail statement on Monday.
KPMG Huazhen was the first international accounting firm to be granted a joint venture license in China in August 2012.

"The firm has opened three offices within two years, which demonstrates the positive effect of the localization transformation program on our business development in China. The approval for the opening of three offices by KPMGÂ Huazhen has enabled us to take the lead in reaping the benefits of the program," said Stephen Yiu, Chairman of KPMG China.
