The Commercial Crime Bureau (CCB) organised the Professional Certificate for Commercial Crime Investigation Course for Supervisors from March 2 to 6, which assembled 22 regulators from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), and the Accounting and Financial Reporting Council; officers in charge of cases from Crime Wing and investigation teams of various Regions; and officers from the Forensic Accountants’ Office.

The course emphasises practical application, with its content covering various kinds of commercial fraud and case investigation skills. Representatives from the HKMA, the SFC, the HKEX and the Department of Justice (DoJ) also shared their experiences as guest speakers, among which Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions of the DoJ Mr Chau Tin-hang even discussed the prosecution of various kinds of commercial fraud with the participants.

The CCB aimed to enhance officers’ capabilities in analysing and investigating related offences by inviting law enforcement officers undertaking commercial crime investigation and local regulators to participate in the course.
