CCB, HKMA host seminar on fraud, corporate
governance
To make financial professionals in the banking sector more aware of fraud at the workplace, Commercial Crime Bureau (CCB) and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) jointly hosted a Fraud Prevention and Corporate Governance Seminar at HKMA on April 8. Director of Crime and Security Lo Wai-chung officiated at the opening of the seminar.
The main objectives of the seminar are to heighten finance professionals' awareness of the common tactics employed by crooks in fraud and money laundering, and offer advice on how they can prevent such illegal activities at their workplace. Besides CCB and HKMA officers, experts from Immigration Department, forensic laboratories and university attended the seminar as guest speakers.
The 250-odd participants from 200 banks are compliance, training or business intelligence bank staff. After acquiring relevant professional knowledge and advice from the seminar, they are expected to pass on such information to their frontline staff.
Engaging the community in the fight against crime is always one of the top priorities of the Force. As a result of the seminar, the Force and HKMA have established a close bond with the participants' organisations for working together to maintain Hong Kong as a leading international financial centre.
