China Metal Recycling Holdings has asked its auditor Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu to review its January-to-September earnings, after its former chief financial officer, Wong Hok Leung, alleged he was denied proper access to the company’s financial information and resigned as a result, the Wall Street Journal reported. The country’s biggest scrap metal recycler by revenue said it plans to release its earnings for the nine months ended September 30 as soon as possible. The company said Wong’s allegations were "wholly unfounded," adding that his resignation won’t impact its operations. China Metal Recycling said Wong wasn’t able to access the company’s financial data because of security upgrades to its computer servers and said it is considering taking legal action against Wong as a result of his allegations against it. News of Wong’s resignation sent the firm’s stock plummeting. The stock ended down 24% Tuesday, but recovered slightly on Wednesday, up 0.8% at HK$8.64 (US$1.11).
