How we manage: honestly,
with integrity and total transparency.
In sharp, sad contrast to business-as-usual in Thailand
and much of Asia, Cyberfish Media is renowned for its strict
adherence to Western standards of accounting and fiscal
management. We obey all Thai laws regarding taxation
and intellectual property rights.
This means we pay all our taxes, including VAT; buy
licensed computer software; pay royalties on all our
translated books and other rights we license; meet
monthly with our accounting/auditing firm to discuss all
financial activities of the previous month; and have our
accounts reviewed twice a year and audited annually. Our
financial practices are first-rate and unimpeachable.
Integrity, transparency and responsibility are the three
pillars supporting our enlightened management philosophy.
“…Cyberfish
adheres to
strict standards
of fiscal
management
and accounting.
Our financial
practices are
first-rate and
unimpeachable

Mr. William VAN WIENEN
Chief Administrative Officer, USA
In many key ways, Bill was destined to fill his
present position. Following his Dutch roots,
he began his Asian journey decades ago in
Indonesia, and has since explored a large
swath of the continent’s Pacific Rim from the
former Dutch colony all the way up through Singapore,
Thailand, China, and Japan.
His business experience began as a child, helping his
father in his real estate development business, where he
learned the basics of being an entrepreneur. Bill’s duel
understanding of Asian societies and what makes a
business successful provides a rock-steady foundation in
the day-to-day running of our operations. Put simply, Bill
takes care of business—of both ours and our clients’.
“I used to listen to my father discuss business at our
dining room table with his lawyer and accountant. Those
after-dinner meetings taught me the values of being
dependable and trustworthy with your partners, clients,
and competitors.”
Bill earned his B.A. in Political Science at Montclair State
University in New Jersey, USA, studied Japanese at New
School University in New York City, and holds computer
technical certifications from Chubb Institute and Novell.
