Hong Kong’s audit regulator said it would launch a fresh probe into PwC over an apparent whistleblower report that accused it of mis-steps in auditing defaulted Chinese developer Evergrande, intensifying pressure on the Big Four firm.The open letter, signed by “a group of PwC partners”, began to circulate in Chinese media last weekend. It cited “significant concerns regarding potential alleged deficiencies” in PwC’s systems of quality management and the quality of its audit work for Evergrande, the Chinese territory’s Accounting and Financial Reporting Council said on Friday.
香港審計監管機構表示,將根據一份明顯的舉報信對普華永道(PwC)發起一項新調查,該信指責普華永道審計現已違約的中國房地產開發商恆大(Evergrande)的工作存在失誤,從而加大了這家「四大」會計師事務所面臨的壓力。
