SGX RegCo places ecoWise former director on watchlist due to non-compliance

Those who intend for a proposed appointment must first seek SGX RegCo’s views and guidance.

Cao Shixuan, former director of ecoWise Holdings Limited, has been placed on the Singapore Exchange Regulation’s (SGX RegCo) directors’ and executive officers’ watchlist.

The decision was based on the findings of Ernst & Young Advisory Pte Ltd (EY) and Cao’s lack of cooperation with the auditing firm.

EY’s findings identified Cao as the legal representative and executive director of the unconsolidated PRC subsidiaries, and was to oversee the company’s operations in the PRC.

Transactions handled by Cao were unable to show clarity due to a lack of comprehensive records, whilst the former director failed to attend interviews arranged by EY.

Consequently, the auditing firm was unable to conduct an examination on the company’s transactions.

In addition, SGX RegCo has required ecoWise to provide a satisfactory trading resumption proposal that includes a clean audit opinion for its latest set of financial statements, amongst other conditions.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
