The latest update is out from Leading Holdings Group Limited ( (HK:6999) ).

Leading Holdings Group Limited announced that SHINEWING (HK) CPA Limited has resigned as its auditor, citing the resignation of all independent non-executive directors without replacement and the lack of a competent financial team, which has severely impeded preparation of the group’s 2025 consolidated financial information. SHINEWING confirmed there are no circumstances related to its resignation that need to be brought to shareholders’ attention but reminded the board that it had previously issued a disclaimer of opinion on the company’s 2024 accounts due to multiple going-concern uncertainties, while the board said there were no disagreements with the auditor and that it is seeking a new replacement.

The board also noted that SHINEWING had not begun any audit work on the 2025 annual results and pledged to announce a new auditor appointment once finalized, while expressing appreciation for SHINEWING’s past services. The departure of the auditor amid lingering going-concern issues and governance gaps, particularly the absence of independent non-executive directors and a full finance team, underscores ongoing risks for the company’s financial reporting and may heighten investor concerns about oversight and transparency.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:6999) stock is a Sell with a HK$0.11 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Leading Holdings Group Limited stock, see the HK:6999 Stock Forecast page.
