Mark your diary for ACRU 2019
The HKICS 20th Annual Corporate and Regulatory Update (ACRU 2019) which brings together
prominent speakers from the regulatory bodies in Hong Kong: the Companies Registry, Hong Kong
Exchanges and Clearing Limited, Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority and the Securities and
Futures Commission will be held at The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on Wednesday,
5 June 2019. Details will be announced soon on the HKICS’s website: www.hkics.org.hk.
Invitation to participate in the HKICS survey on the state of governance
HKICS believes that it is critical to the long-term success of Hong Kong that Hong Kong is seen as a
well-governed market with increasing integration with Mainland China, including under the Hong Kong-
Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Connects. It is in this context that HKICS is seeking to find out the State
of Governance on a variety of governance related topics - to gauge where we are, and where we need
to go - in terms of the overall governance practices in Hong Kong. The survey will be closed
on Monday, 18 March 2019 by noon. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey HERE and
share it to your peers, colleagues and friends. All responses will be kept confidential and on anonymous
basis.
HKICS interviewed by JobsDB
Institute Past President and Company Secretary of Lippo Limited Dr Davy Lee FCIS FCS(PE), and his
daughter Crystal Lee ACIS ACS, also a member of the Institute, were interviewed by JobsDB. Dr Lee
talked about the important roles and key success factors of being a company secretary in a listed
company. Having been inspired by Dr Lee, Crystal Lee has also started her career in the company
secretarial filed. At the end of the interview, JobsDB also interviewed Institute Chief Executive Samantha
Suen FCIS FCS(PE) who pointed out the important personality traits of a company secretary. The
interview report was published by JobsDB on 14 February 2019. For more details, please click here.
