China’s securities regulator has decided to toughen its review of companies aiming to list on the A share market, according to several recent stories including a couple of reports in Caixin.
All of the 882 companies waiting for China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) approval to go public have been required to submit their financials for 2012 by the end of March. The regulator said it would check the results at randomly chosen firms to prevent fraud.
