Court disqualifies China Candy director after cash balances were overstated by 87% and 97%
China Candy Holdings Limited · GEM-listed candy manufacturer
The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Third-party confirmation
Direct bank confirmation would show cash far below reported balances.
Can mislead when: Counterparties can collude or ignore requests. A non-response is logged as a gap, never as a pass.
Bank credits vs books
Bank statements pulled directly would not match the books.
Can mislead when: AA only sees the accounts the company links, so an undisclosed account stays invisible. Cash-heavy businesses and timing differences create false flags.
Document authenticity / direct pull
Bank records would be shown to be falsified.
Can mislead when: The company can refuse consent, and a refusal is itself a flag. Some banks and co-op banks are not on AA yet.
Governance signals
Audit committee minutes would show no testing of treasury controls.
Can mislead when: Private companies file late, so these signals are lagging. Kubr uses them to support other flags, not to prove anything alone.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
Same pattern
A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
