EQC Compliance Advisory
About EQC
Regulatory compliance, complex-audit, transaction-readiness, and audit-technology support for professional practices and growing businesses in Hong Kong.
A Practical Partner for Professional Practices and Transactions
For more than six years, EQC Compliance Advisory has supported 400+ small and medium-sized practices (SMPs), corporate practices, practising accountants, TCSP licensees, and financial-institution clients in Hong Kong. We assist CPA practices, including PIE and non-PIE auditors, on AFRC inspections, investigations, complaints, and wider regulatory matters.
Our core work includes inspection consulting, external monitoring and completed-file reviews, mock inspections, internal-control and quality-management consulting, AML/CTF compliance, complex audit support, financial due diligence, audit technology, and practice-protection work. The objective is practical: to translate requirements into clear evidence, proportionate remediation, and sustainable processes while clients remain focused on operations and growth.
EQC also supports financial-reporting, audit, and documentation readiness for transactions and Hong Kong IPO listings. Where an engagement needs multidisciplinary input, we can help clients connect with appropriately qualified professional parties for transaction legal advisory, financial due diligence, internal-control reviews, financial readiness assessments, and related workstreams. Each separately appointed professional remains responsible for their own advice and deliverables.
