Environmental Challenges
- In June 2022, the company was listed by the SEC as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCAA due to the previous auditor (Centurion ZD CPA & Co.) being headquartered in Hong Kong, where the PCAOB was unable to fully inspect or investigate.
Mitigation Strategies
- Appointed Audit Alliance LLP (headquartered in Singapore) as the new independent registered public accounting firm effective June 30, 2022. This change was expected to allow compliance with the HFCAA and AHFCAA.
