An update from China High Speed Transmission Equipment Group Co ( (HK:0658) ) is now available.

China High Speed Transmission Equipment Group Co., Ltd. has issued a supplemental announcement regarding its proposed change of auditor from HLB Hodgson to Prism, addressing regulatory concerns around Prism’s suitability. The board and the majority of the audit committee reviewed a recent disciplinary decision by Hong Kong’s Accounting and Financial Reporting Council against Prism and concluded it does not impair Prism’s eligibility to serve as the company’s auditor.

The company highlighted that the AFRC-identified breaches at Prism were historical, limited in scope, and occurred around a 2023 inspection, with Prism having since taken remedial measures. These steps include establishing a dedicated quality assurance department, tightening anti-money laundering and risk assessment procedures, and strengthening ongoing monitoring, with recent inspections reportedly showing no further AML-related findings, thereby supporting the company’s case to proceed with the auditor change while reassuring stakeholders about audit quality and compliance.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0658) stock is a Sell with a HK$1.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on China High Speed Transmission Equipment Group Co stock, see the HK:0658 Stock Forecast page.
