Client stories
What finance leads and company secretaries said after statutory reporting checks with Apiaggregator.
Short reflections
“They caught a related-party note that still named a director who had resigned mid-year. That would have been an awkward Companies Registry query.”
— Finance manager, trading company, Kwun Tong
“The consolidation pass forced us to reopen three intercompany loan schedules we thought were settled. Painful in the moment; cleaner at board sign-off.”
— Consolidation accountant, logistics group, Tsim Sha Tsui
“The review took a little longer than we hoped because our schedules arrived incomplete, but the comment log was clear enough for our company secretary to act on the same week.”
— Group controller, property holding company, Central
“Disclosure readiness was useful for the lease note, though we still needed our lawyer for the contingent claim wording. Apiaggregator stayed in their lane.”
— Financial controller, professional services firm, Admiralty
Extended story: March year-end trading company
A Kwun Tong importer engaged us for a Statutory Reporting Review six weeks before the company secretary’s lodgement target. Drafts arrived with comparative figures that did not tie to the prior signed set in three inventory lines. We logged the mismatches, paused the narrative review, and restarted once warehouse adjusted the schedules.
Clearance followed eleven working days after the corrected pack. The directors’ report still needed one paragraph on a warehouse lease renewal; management supplied the facts the next morning. The company secretary filed without a registry query on the accounts.
Extended story: Holding company consolidations
A Central property holding company asked for a group consolidation pass across five Hong Kong subsidiaries. Eliminations for management fees had been posted net in one entity and gross in another. Our exception list identified the mismatch before the parent worksheets were locked for the statutory auditor.
The finance lead noted that they would schedule the consolidation pass earlier next year — two weeks before the auditor’s fieldwork rather than overlapping it.
