El Tribunal Superior de Hong Kong celebrará el lunes una vista sobre la demanda de los liquidadores de Evergrande contra PwC

El Tribunal Superior de Hong Kong tiene previsto celebrar el lunes una audiencia pública de un día en relación con los esfuerzos de los liquidadores de Evergrande para emprender acciones legales contra PwC International por cuestiones de auditoría.

La vista ante el juez adjunto Patrick Fung Pak-tung se refiere a los intentos de los liquidadores de presentar reclamaciones contra PwC en relación con las auditorías de la promotora inmobiliaria. La sesión se produce tras las recientes medidas reguladoras adoptadas contra la firma. El mes pasado, la Comisión de Valores y Futuros de Hong Kong llegó a un acuerdo con PwC Hong Kong para pagar 1.000 millones de dólares de Hong Kong en concepto de compensación a los accionistas minoritarios, alegando graves incumplimientos de los deberes profesionales de los auditores. Por su parte, el Consejo de Información Financiera y Contabilidad (AFRC, por sus siglas en inglés) multó a PwC con 300 millones de dólares de Hong Kong y le impuso una restricción de ejercicio de seis meses. El AFRC también halló numerosas deficiencias graves de auditoría en el trabajo de PwC sobre las cuentas de Evergrande de 2019 y 2020. Dos antiguos socios fueron multados con 5 millones de dólares de Hong Kong cada uno por este asunto.
