SFC, 24-May-2023
Webb-site first blew the whistle about this wrong-doing back in 2012. It took the SFC until 2019 to bring this action. In our view, It was and is too little, too late.

Company announcement, 2-Jul-2020
After Citizens (owned by Oshidori, 0622) on 12-May applied for winding-up in HCCW 95/2020, and after Manivest (appointed by Southwest, 0812) on 13-May applied for interim receivers in HCMP 469/2020, Citizens on 18-May applied to intervene in that case, to be heard on 18-Jun, but on 15-Jun Manivest applied to join HCCW 95/2020 and appoint their choice of liquidators, RSM, so on 18-Jun they withdrew HCMP 469/2020. The liquidation hearing is set for 9-Jul. Meanwhile on 19-Jun, Southwest wrote to the judge regarding the withdrawal, making what Celebrate calls "completely unfounded allegations against the Board… and other parties" and enclosing a chart. In response, the Board now adjourns the EGM requisitioned by Manivest (who have a 64.66% shareholding) to replace the Board which was scheduled for 3-Jul.

HKICPA v X & Y
HK Court of Appeal, 20-Oct-2017
From the facts in the judgment, this case is clearly about the 2010 audit of Prosperity (0803) and the accounting for its acquisition of Prosperity Minerals Holdings Ltd, so the auditors Y, are RSM Hong Kong, and its engagement partner X. They win their appeal because the HKICPA disciplinary panel found them guilty of a charge which had not been properly put to them.

HKICPA v Stephen Wong Tak Man & RSM Nelson Wheeler
HK Court of Appeal, 30-Aug-2016
This appeal reveals that the HKICPA disciplinary committee fined Stephen Wong Tak Man and RSM Nelson Wheeler HK$10k each but, amazingly, "directed that no publicity of the aforesaid sanction should be made". The court rejects their appeal. The HKICPA appealed the secrecy order, but the court held that it had no jurisdiction to hear appeals by the HKICPA, only by accountants and their firms. Anyway, now you know. The disciplinary panel is chaired by Anne Rosamunde Carver, with members Wong Yuen Chi, Terry Pan San Kong, Law Pui Cheung and Tsang Tin For.
Re bankrupt Ian Chu Chi Ho
HK Court of First Instance, 21-Jan-2016
Application by money-lenders in what we call the "Chung Nam Network" for the removal of the bankruptcy trustees is dismissed. The trustees have entered into a funding agreement and are looking into "a number of apparently suspicious transactions arising from the relationship of the Bankrupt" with the lenders. Most of the money purportedly borrowed by Ian Chu Chi Ho was paid by the lenders directly HEC Finance 92 Ltd, another company in the network. That was formerly Chung Nam Finance Ltd.
