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.
Mr Law then met with colleagues who participate in the department's mentorship programme to learn more about how the programme assists newly recruited Accounting Officers in integrating into the working environment, and facilitates the transfer of knowledge and experience on government financial management among colleagues.
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.
