Longfor Group (00960) told some Hong Kong bondholders it has prepared sufficient funds to repay a RMB 1.3 billion bank loan due later this month and expects to be able to service a dollar bond due next year, according to ETNet. People familiar with the matter said Longfor told a meeting on Tuesday that it plans to have funds ready by March next year to repay a $250 million bond due in April. The repayment money will mainly come from operating cash flow and new onshore borrowing. Longfor also said it had obtained about RMB 3.2 billion in new operating property loans in the first half of the year at an interest rate of about 3%. It currently operates 96 shopping malls, of which 79 are owned assets, and plans to open six more in the second half, including five owned malls. The company plans to raise about RMB 5 billion in operating property loans using those five owned malls.

The Accounting and Financial Reporting Council publicly reprimanded Grant Thornton Hong Kong Limited and two practising directors, Yu Chi Fat and Shi Lei, and fined them a combined HK$910,000 over serious audit deficiencies in Sand International's 2014 audit, according to ETNet. The regulator said the auditors knew the 2014 audit involved fraud risks related to opening bank balances, but failed to properly control confirmation procedures or design and perform sufficient work to verify whether those balances existed. It said the firm lacked professional scepticism and did not diligently carry out its audit duties. The penalties included HK$490,000 for Grant Thornton Hong Kong, HK$350,000 for Yu and HK$70,000 for Shi. The case stemmed from a complaint received by local regulators in 2016 after a short-seller report. Sand International's former auditor had already found a cash discrepancy of as much as RMB 2 billion between the company's books and bank balances before resigning, and had flagged potential fraud risk. When Grant Thornton took over as first-year auditor in July 2015, it knew about the short-seller report and the risks, but major flaws remained in its verification of the 2014 opening bank balances. Of 129 bank confirmations obtained, 126 had no source record in the audit working papers and no evidence of authenticity checks, even though they covered more than 99% of the group's opening bank balances. The regulator also said Grant Thornton's claimed visits to banks and calls to switchboards were not practical and were not documented with dates, times or locations. It added that the firm failed to understand management's construction revenue estimates and did not include construction progress reports or summaries of key contract terms in the working papers.
