A Government spokesman today (July 15) said, "The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is a key regulator for corporate governance of companies listed in Hong Kong. One of the statutory functions of the FRC is to initiate enquiries concerning non-compliance with legal, accounting or regulatory requirements in a listed entity's financial reports.
"The FRRP, a statutory body established under the FRC Ordinance, is indispensable to the discharge of the FRC's statutory functions of enquiries. The work of the FRRP will benefit from the rich experience and professional knowledge of the members."
The spokesman added, "We would also like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt appreciation to the 14 outgoing members for their valuable contribution to the work of the FRRP in the past years."
When an enquiry case arises, the FRC may appoint one Convenor and four or more members from the FRRP to form a Financial Reporting Review Committee, which will enquire into the relevant non-compliance of the case. The Committee will submit an enquiry report on the case to the FRC for consideration and, where appropriate, follow-up action.
