SCS visits Companies Registry (with photos)
*******************************************
Mr Law met with the Registrar of Companies, Ms Ada Chung, and the directorate staff to get an update on the department's work including the registration of companies and statutory returns as well as the provision of company search services for the public.
Mr Law later toured the Document Management Section of the Public Search Division, which is responsible for receiving and dispatching documents, creating records for documents received in hard copy form and converting paper documents into digitised images for further processing. He then proceeded to the New Companies Section of the Company Formation and Deregistration Division to learn about how colleagues process applications for incorporation of local companies and the registration of non-Hong Kong companies. At the Data Centre of the Development Division, he was briefed on the centre's 24-hour system support services.
Mr Law said he was pleased to learn that with the continuous efforts of the department to enhance its electronic services, members of the public can now incorporate companies, apply for business registration and submit all specified forms and related documents round the clock through the e-Registry portal or the CR eFiling mobile application.
Before concluding his visit, Mr Law met with staff representatives of various grades at a tea gathering to exchange views on matters that concern them. He expressed his appreciation for colleagues' efforts and encouraged them to continue to provide efficient and quality services to the community.
