“If you are not inside a house, how can you know if it’s leaking? In business, you will always have two choices: you can either take action or do nothing. Although success is never guaranteed, one thing is certain: if you choose to do nothing, nothing will ever happen.” Irene Xu Director

Irene has worked in auditing since 2000, including nine years at a Big Four firm and three years for US-listed companies. She is an expert in PRC statutory audits and group reporting audits for large international companies in China.

In addition to audit opinions, she can also provide constructive advisory support to improve internal controls and the efficiency of company management.
