Compliance Survey on the Code of Banking Practice
As you may recall, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority undertook to conduct
compliance surveys on the Code of Banking Practice (Code) when the Code
was issued in July last year. Paragraph 1.5 of the Code provides that
institutions should take active steps to comply with the Code and that
they should achieve full compliance within 6 months of the effective
date of the Code. It is therefore timely to conduct the first compliance
survey covering the period from 14 July 1997 to 14 January 1998.
I should be grateful if you could duly complete the
attached questionnaire and return it to us on or before
6 March 1998. The aggregate results of the survey will be released after
compilation.
If you have any questions on the survey, please contact Carman Chiu
on 2878 1401.
