The Administration Wing of New Territories South (NTS) Region held a sharing session on September 12 about lessons learnt from internal audits conducted on formations/units in NTS Region. Fifty-seven management officers from formations in NTS attended the session.

Delivering opening remarks at the session, NTS Deputy Regional Commander Kwan Chui-ching outlined measures to improve performance following the internal audits. She pointed out the importance of explaining relevant requirements to officers concerned. She also stressed the need of implementing measures to prevent recurrence of similar mistakes, adding that supervisors should closely monitor the audit work.

In addition, Executive Officer of Airport District Ms Miranda Ho shared the experience of conducting a pre-inspection before the commencement of an internal audit.
