About the Lawsuit
The complaint charges Longtop and certain of its officers and executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The lawsuit closely parallels an article by Reutera™s today:
aThe auditor at Longtop Financial Technologies Ltdaquit and a U.S. regulator has opened a related probe, deepening concern about possible accounting irregularities at Chinese companies. The resignation on Sunday of the auditor, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu CPA Ltd, came three days after Longtop, which makes software for Chinese financial services companies, said its chief financial officer offered to resign. Based in Xiamen, Longtop had a $1.08 billion market value before a May 17 trading halt in New York, though that value had fallen by more than half since November."
According to Longtop, Deloitte said its resignation stemmed in part from "recently identified falsity" in Longtop's financial records, as well as "deliberate interference" by Longtop management in the audit process. Longtop also said Deloitte could no longer rely on its prior audit reports for the company.
Separately, Longtop said the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has opened an inquiry.
