Fitch Expects More China Corporate Fraud Probes

Chinese companies will continue to be hit by corporate fraud accusations and investigations as the country struggles to improve corporate governance standards, Fitch Ratings said on Monday.The credit rating agency said that Chinese companies have an above average risk of facing fraud allegations, though not all will be legitimate.The cost of productions has dropped drastically in the last few years. An indie film 10 years ago might have achieved some notoriety for being shot on a consumer mini dv video camera, but these days you'll find the same Canon 5D Mark II that you have at home on a $1 million set.Fitch said last week it was reviewing the 35 Chinese companies that it assigns credit ratings to after a spate of allegations of corporate fraud at other China companies.

Possible accounting problems at such companies have overshadowed fundraising efforts both in the U.S. and in China.Short-sellers have been targeting some U.S.-traded Chinese companies, driving their share prices sharply lower amid doubts about the accuracy of financial statements filed with regulators.

In some cases, the companies have fought back, complaining that the accusations of accounting fraud or other problems were unfounded. But in others, regulators have suspended or delisted the companies or started investigations.Also, last week, Moody's released a report that issued "red flags" to Chinese companies based on their governance or accounting risks.

"Fitch does not expect the flow of accusation and investigations to slow down in the near term, particularly if short-selling is involved," the report said. Short-sellers profit by borrowing stock to sell and then buying it back when the price drops so they can return it to the lender and pocket the difference."Some of the accusations will be legitimate, some will be erroneous; many will be a mixture. All will have the potential to present liquidity problems for an individual issuer and its closest peers," the report said.Such accusations are "part of a long road to stronger market governance already taken by Latin America," it said.
