Summary

CPD Units:1.5 units                                

Language: Chinese (Supplemented with English PPT)    

Good corporate governance and ethical leadership are widely recognised as important factors in minimising the risk of corruption and malpractices in the workplace.  Professional accountants provide invaluable advice to senior management on corporate governance and act as guardians watching out for malpractices and non-compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.  Accountants who perform their guardian role well can spot the red flags, blow the whistle and guide companies to maintain sound risk management and control systems to prevent corruption and related malpractices.

With reference to the ICAC’s experience on investigation and corruption prevention work, our speaker, Larissa Chow will introduce the relevant ordinance and analyse common corruption risks and ethical issues encountered by company directors, senior management and accounting professionals in their daily work.
