Corporate Support Services

We translate annual reports, ESG reports, circulars, bond and equity prospectuses, fund fact sheets, shareholder and investor communications, and corporate compliance materials. The common thread is listed-company disclosure: documents that are filed, published or read by investors, where a mistranslated term or figure becomes a disclosure problem rather than a stylistic one.

Our translators are specialist linguists with capital-markets and regulatory document experience, working in publication-ready Chinese and English, so defined terms, figures and disclosure language are treated as disclosure rather than prose. For ESG reports, we prefer to draft both languages from the same data set rather than translate a finished report, so that neither version lags behind the other.

Drafts, board papers and price-sensitive materials are handled under strict confidentiality protocols at every stage. This matters most for documents such as circulars, prospectuses and results-related reports, which are often translated while the information in them has not yet been published.

Yes. We work to listing, reporting and deal timetables so that bilingual documents are ready when the issuer needs them. The same planning applies whether the document is an annual report, an ESG report, a circular or a prospectus, each of which has its own publication date that the translation has to meet.

Engagements cover financial instruments, businesses and intangible assets, property, and purchase price allocation following an acquisition. Each is scoped to its purpose, whether a transaction, financial reporting or a regulatory requirement, because the purpose determines the basis of value, the appropriate methods and how much supporting analysis the report must contain.

Valuations are delivered through partner valuers and our expert team, whose specialists have experience across listed companies, pre-IPO candidates and SMEs. Each engagement is scoped to its transaction, reporting or regulatory purpose rather than a standard template, and the work is prepared with reference to recognised international valuation standards and market practice.

No. A valuation supports management's judgements, for example on purchase price allocation or impairment testing, but it does not replace the external auditor's opinion on the financial statements. The auditor forms its own view of any valuation used in the accounts, including the assumptions on which it rests.

A purchase price allocation assigns the consideration paid in a business combination to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, measured at fair value with limited exceptions, and any excess recognised as goodwill. It is required under HKFRS 3 and IFRS 3, and often involves valuing intangible assets, such as customer relationships or brands, that were not recognised in the acquired company's own accounts.
