Hong Kong Subsidiary Companies (Extract)
(English Translation)

Interviewees : Ms Julie Wu (JW), Ms Carmen Ma (CM)

Interviewers : Mr Joseph Y K Yau (JY), Ms Janice Leung (JL)

“Our relationship with auditors is in fact very crucial. Both parties should not

stand in opposition, instead we should share mutual benefits and must

cooperate with each other. We understand CKY, as a professional firm, is mainly

responsible to comply with respective rules and regulations. Yet we as your
client also require your priority and effort to assist and solve the Company’s

issues together. This is one of the reasons that we turned to CKY for
collaboration, as we both parties trust one another...” said Ms Julie Wu. In what

extent should a relationship be developed and maintained between a
corporation and its external auditor? We were honoured to invite Ms Julie Wu
and Ms Carmen Ma, the financial managers of the Hong Kong subsidiary
companies of Far Eastern Group in Taiwan to be in this interview. They discussed

with Joseph Y K Yau and Janice Leung regarding the partnership between a
company and the auditor, as well as the development of the accounting
industry in this advanced digital age.
