Duoyuan Global Water Inc. Announces Action By the Board of Directors
BEIJING, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Duoyuan Global Water Inc. (NYSE: DGW) ("Duoyuan" or the "Company"), a leading China-based domestic water treatment equipment supplier, today announced that the Company's Board of Directors has instructed the audit committee of the Board of Directors to initiate a pre-emptive independent third party review of the accounting, internal controls and corporate governance of the Company, as may be necessary, to confirm that the Company's standards are in accordance with the standards expected of an NYSE-listed company.
The Board of Directors voted unanimously to take proactive action following a recent announcement by Duoyuan Printing, Inc. ("Duoyuan Printing"), that may have been perceived to involve the Company [which is an affiliate of Duoyuan Printing], as Wenhua Guo (the Company's Chairman and CEO) is also Duoyuan Printing's Chairman of the Board and its largest shareholder. While there are presently no known accounting or corporate governance issues to be reviewed and the Company consistently has received unqualified audits from Grant Thornton, an international accounting firm, for four successive years, the Company's Board of Directors is of the opinion that the appointment of an independent third party is necessary to ensure the highest level of transparency and accountability.
As additional material information becomes available, the Company's Board of Directors intends to provide updates. Investor inquiries can be directed to the Company's investor relations department, reachable at (646) 277-1227.
