SFST welcomes annual report of Process Review Panel for Financial Reporting Council
********************************************************

     The Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Professor K C Chan, today (April 5) welcomed the publication of the seventh annual report of the Process Review Panel (PRP) for the Financial Reporting Council (FRC).

     Professor Chan said, "Process review is an important institutional arrangement designed to help enhance the transparency and accountability of the FRC in performing its statutory functions under the Financial Reporting Council Ordinance. In 2015, the PRP conducted a comprehensive review of the selected cases handled by the FRC in the preceding year and considered whether the actions taken by the FRC were consistent with its internal procedures and guidelines. In the annual report, the PRP has made useful observations and recommendations which are conducive to the further improvement of the work of the FRC.

     "I would like to express my gratitude to the PRP for its hard work, and look forward to the continued endeavour of the PRP and the FRC in enhancing our financial reporting and corporate governance regime."
