Taiwan(China) checkpoints that trip merger audits
Overseas diligence teams often arrive with a global workpaper index and discover that local operating evidence in Taiwan(China) is organized around different rituals—chop usage, bilingual contract packs, and entity-level filing calendars that do not map cleanly to a group audit app.
Chops and signatures in the trail
When a control relies on a company chop, the evidence map must say who holds it, who logs usage, and how a digital copy is stored for the financial auditing workflow. Vague “authorized signatory” language creates follow-ups that burn week two of fieldwork.
Bilingual packs without double versions
Store one authoritative version and a certified translation reference, not two living drafts that diverge. Integration PMO leads should decide which language is authoritative for each artifact before sampling starts.
