    ...特許詐騙審查師學會香港分會會長湯飈指,近年在歐美等地的「綠色詐騙」個案有上升趨勢,慶幸歪風尚未吹至香港,惟最近也多了客戶查詢相關審查服務。他認為,「綠色詐騙」的成因眾多,不限於金錢或利益衡突,最終目的也只是吸引投資者及應付相關條例要求。...

    ...特許詐騙審查師學會香港分會董事兼研究委員會主席何仕景解釋,「綠色詐騙」跟普通詐騙屬同一層面,只是欺騙的對象不同。...

    詐騙審查師學會:小心綠色金融欺詐風險

    (星島日報報道)在複雜的商業社會,欺詐事件有時難以避免。不過,根據特許詐騙審查師學會的調查顯示,由於近年企業員工反詐騙意識提升,更多人願意挺身舉報,因此詐騙事件遭揭發的時間,有縮短的趨勢。雖然如此,隨着商業活動不斷轉變,新的詐騙漏洞亦會浮現,例如現時大行其道的綠色金融,亦不排除有涉及詐騙活動的風險。

    The ACFE Hong Kong Chapter has been thrilled by the success of our recently completed four-part Investigations Training Workshop. It has been our most successful event ever. The course attracted 168 participants, a record number including members from five other Asian ACFE Chapters in Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Taiwan. The continued success of this well-established training programme, run in collaboration with the University of Hong Kong's Centre for Criminology for 10 years, is due in no small part to the high quality of our presented material and the enthusiasm of our members.

    Over the four weeks of this course, we were able to offer an outstanding and diverse selection of topics covering the dos and definitely don'ts of due diligence, fraud investigation and governance, the fraud examiner's role in supporting listed companies suspended by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the latest post-covid legal developments, cases and remedies for the victims of fraud, and an exploration of digital investigation techniques. We'd like to thank all our presenters for their time and efforts, and all our participants for their enthusiasm and active involvement in this excellent programme. We offer our fraud investigation training programme twice a year on Saturday mornings, with diverse and thought provoking topics presented by experts and specialists to support the professional development of our Hong Kong members and, evidenced by our recent outreach, we now offer this to regionally based CFEs.

    If you'd like to join us at our next investigations workshop scheduled for November-December, please look out for announcements on our website, where you will also find information about other forthcoming presentations, including our annual ethics presentation In September, our next breakfast presentation in November and our newly established Young Practitioners' Club.

    COVID-19 has affected — and will continue to affect — the business environment in countless ways. Travel bans, employees working remotely, and an increased reliance on technology and economic uncertainty have become the reality for many organizations around the world. And while these and other hurdles present numerous logistical and operational challenges, they also open the door to the increased pressure, opportunity and rationalization that can lead to fraud.

    To illuminate the global pandemic’s impact on the fight against fraud, the ACFE is undertaking a series of benchmarking surveys exploring how fraud risks and anti-fraud programs are changing in the current environment. The December 2020 edition of the Fraud in the Wake of COVID-19: Benchmarking Report summarizes the results of the third of these surveys, which was conducted November of 2020. We hope that the information highlighted in this report will help you understand how fraud risk is evolving and the importance of staying ever vigilant in protecting against its harms in the wake of the novel coronavirus.
