Reacting to the US announcement of August 6, that it would de-list companies failing to meet auditing requirements, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) said (August 9) the right way to improve cross-border cooperation on audit inspections is to have frank dialogue. It said China has proposed joint accounting inspection plans repeatedly since 2019 and has shown “full sincerity for cooperation.” 

 (Comment:  The two countries have had a longstanding dispute between regulators over access to audits of U.S.-listed Chinese companies.)
