Yangzhou Guangling District Taihe Rural Micro-finance Company Limited (1915) announced the formation of an independent special investigation committee, initially composed of its independent non-executive directors. The group is mandated to investigate the Audit Matters referenced in earlier disclosures and may enlist additional professional advisers to assist as needed.
