If, however, the audit case is complex and requires a longer period of time, the TWSE may file with the competent authority for approval to extend the audit period, provided that the extension may not be longer than 1 month.
If any of the following circumstances is found to exist after the audit is conducted, it shall be handled immediately:
- Any material irregularity or violation of securities-related law or regulation shall be reported to the competent authority for further handling.
- Any violation of the TWSE Operating Rules shall be handled in accordance with the Operating Rules.
