JD.com has been identified under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act by the SEC as a Commission-Identified Issuer due to audit inspection issues. The SEC's identification follows JD.com's filing of its annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. This identification indicates that JD.com used an auditor whose working papers cannot be inspected by the PCAOB. While this poses a risk, the company is actively seeking solutions to maintain its listing on Nasdaq and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
