The Commercial Crime Bureau (CCB) jointly organised with Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) an "Experience Sharing Workshop" between June 4 and 5 to support the Force Strategic Direction on "Enhancing the Personal and Professional Qualities of Force Members".

A total of 20 inspectors from CCB, four inspectors from districts and 20 managers of SFC shared work experience and knowledge at the workshop in SFC. The workshop was divided into four themes, namely, Company Inspection, Disclosures and Directors' Fraud; Trading Malpractices and Securities Fraud; Regulatory Framework for intermediaries and Money Laundering, and Investment Products and Boiler Room Fraud/Advance Fee Fraud.

Speakers from CCB and SFC expounded each theme with informative presentations, lively case studies and discussion sessions, all of which were well received by the audience.

In his closing speech, CCB Chief Superintendent Chan Yiu-kwok reiterated that the financial sector is one of the main pillars of Hong Kong's economy, and SFC and CCB are two important organisations dedicated to ensuring fair play in the sector. Although SFC and CCB play different roles, they always share the common goal of boosting Hong Kong's competitiveness and providing Hong Kong with a fair and just commercial platform.

Mr Chan emphasised the importance of working closely with CCB's working partners, besides enhancing staff quality. Encouraged by a positive evaluation of the workshop, he sees the need to organise the same event on a regular basis.

The workshop concluded with Mr Chan and Mr Mark Steward, Executive Director of SFC, exchanging souvenirs.
