JCHX Mining is a major service provider focusing on engineering, mine construction, underground development, contract mining, and research and development in the nonferrous, ferrous and chemical industries.
It has a registered capital of CNY 583 million, employs more than 6,000 people, and controls 30 subsidiaries, four branches and a provincial-level R&D centre. As part of its business plan, the company asked Zhonghui, a member of Kreston Global in China, to help in three main areas.
JCHX Mining wanted to improve its internal management, particularly its financial management capabilities. They also wanted a better understanding of the IPO procedure, and to improve their information-gathering on the latest local rules affecting their various overseas projects.
Discussing their needs with JCHX Mining, we helped create an effective financial management procedure and compliance framework. We also provided an audit service in the company’s IPO and the issuance of a CNY 1 billion convertible bond. For its overseas business, we helped provide training for the financial staff involved in foreign projects while giving expert tax advice regarding various investment projects.
Lu Li, audit partner at Zhonghui, commented:
“It has been very satisfying to help such an important company make major improvements. Our advice will optimise business efficiency and provide solid financial foundations, helping the company continue to flourish globally.”
“It was the right decision to engage Zhonghui as our trusted consulting company for numerous complex national and international projects. The Zhonghui team of experts really worked well together to help us create a tailored reporting and tax filing process for our finance team worldwide.”

The company has more than 60 years of experience in the development and production of automotive components. It has affiliated companies in Italy, USA, Mexico, Brazil, China and India, and sells products to more than 70 countries. Its markets include industrial vehicles, buses, trains, agriculture and construction machinery, boats, motorcycles and cars.
The group was expanding its operations in Brazil, China, India, Mexico and was seeking local firms to ensure compliance with local laws and to audit the subsidiary financial statements for consolidation purposes.
DOGA Group’s management team was unhappy with the performance of the local accounting firms they were using at the time. They discussed their needs with Kreston Spanish member firm Kreston Iberaudit which the company already used for other services. Kreston Iberaudit explained the advantages of using the Kreston Global network, and DOGA subsequently began working with Kreston Partnership in Brazil. They were so pleased with its work that they appointed Kreston Global member firms in India and Mexico (Kreston Rangamani & Kreston BSG) to carry out similar work.
Montse Martin, the company’s Finance Director, said: “DOGA Group has engaged the services of Kreston’s Partners in Spain, Brazil and China for Audit, Tax and Transfer Pricing matters for several years. As a result of this mutually beneficial relationship, we are now turning to Kreston firms in India and Mexico to assist our international subsidiaries.
“To date, we have been extremely impressed with the dedication of the Kreston Partners and their ability to provide a personalised service throughout, tailored to the requirements of each of our affiliates.”
“The cohesion between members across the network is one of Kreston’s greatest strengths and we look forward to their continued support”.
Elena Ramírez Marín, lead client partner for DOGA Group at Kreston Iberaudit, commented:
“It has been very gratifying to help our friends at DOGA expand their international operations. The work has also highlighted the tremendous benefits the Kreston Global network gives to both clients and member firms.”
