China Auditors Have Seen Better Days
December 3, 2012 2 Comments
Today is not the best day for the China affiliates of the “big 4” and other auditors. Muddy Waters Research, via a tweet, facetiously said “Today is China Auditorageddon”. One wonders if there will be negative consequences on any of the US-listed China stocks, despite the Short China Reverse Merger trade being over. Posted below are today’s key developments, for posterity’s sake (and just in case the filings mysteriously disappear).

Wow that was strange. I just wrote an incredibly
long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not
writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted to say great blog!
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find
this matter to be actually something which I think I would never
understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me.
I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
