Deloitte Touche Tohnmatsu appointed as independent auditor of BVI-based CTDC
China Technology Development Group Corporation, British Virgin Islands company that provides clean and renewable energy products and solutions for solar energy business in China, announced that it has appointed Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu CPA Ltd.. to act as its independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
This appointment followed the expiry of the service term of Friedman LLP, and was based on recommendation and approval of the audit committee and the Board of Directors of China Technology on February 14, 2008. The reason for the change of the auditor was not any kind of disagreement between CTDC and Friedman, on matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
CEO of the company Charlene Hua commented on the appointment of the new auditor: “Given our strategic focus in the solar energy business in China, we believe that Deloitte’s strong presence in China will provide us with audit services that are more efficient and suitable for a rapidly growing company like ours. We also wish to thank Friedman for the excellent work and professional services provided by their team.”
BVI-domiciled China Technology Development Group Corporation has also a number of BVI subsidiaries, one of which, China Natures Technology Inc., about a month ago was disposed to an independent party for HK$10,000,000, pursuant to the sale and purchase agreement dated December 18, 2007.
