*********************************
     The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mr Joshua Law, visited the Treasury today (May 18) and met with its management and staff of various grades to learn more about their work and challenges confronting them.

      Accompanied by the Permanent Secretary for the Civil Service, Mr Thomas Chow, Mr Law met with the Director of Accounting Services, Mr Charlix Wong, and the directorate staff and was briefed on the department's work in the provision of accounting and financial management services in the Government.

      Mr Law then proceeded to the Pensions Division under the Establishment Branch to learn about the procedures of processing pension payments to retired civil servants and other eligible persons. He was also briefed by colleagues of the Information Systems Branch on the operation of the Data Centre, which provides round-the-clock services to support various service-wide accounting, financial management and costing application systems of the Government.

     At a tea gathering with representatives of various grades, Mr Law exchanged views on matters of concern. He expressed appreciation for colleagues' efforts and encouraged them to continue to provide professional and efficient accounting and financial support services to the Government.
