23 Apr 2026 PricewaterhouseCoopers Hong KongPwC Hong Kong: HKD 1bn compensation for Evergrande shareholders under SFC agreement Hong KongMarket abuse and insider dealing Other

Under an agreement with the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC, Hong Kong's securities regulator), PricewaterhouseCoopers Hong Kong has undertaken to set aside 1,000,000,000 HKD to compensate independent minority shareholders of China Evergrande Group; in return the regulator will take no further action, without any admission of liability. China Evergrande's audited revenue was allegedly overstated by 44.79% for 2019 and 69.03% for 2020, and PwC Hong Kong, as auditor, was allegedly concerned in the dissemination of false information, allegedly did not maintain its independence and allegedly acquiesced in management's manipulation of audit samples and site inspections.

What organisations can take from it

Auditors who tolerate manipulation of their audit procedures face a considerable risk of having to compensate investors.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source (company names until they are anonymised).

Company names are anonymised two years after the decision in a case, in line with the practice of many supervisory authorities. The official sources remain linked.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
