Collaborations with Industry Esteemed Professional Bodies
In recent events, HKIRA has collaborated with prestigious organizations such as CFA Society Hong Kong and CPA Australia x ACFE, offering valuable insights and networking opportunities to its members.
On March 25, 2024, HKIRA and CFA Society Hong Kong jointly organized a networking event, bringing together approximately 60 members. The event served as a platform for professionals from both organizations to interact and share perspectives. Mr. Alvin Ho, President of CFA Society Hong Kong, and Dr. Eva Chan, our Chairman, welcomed the participants and introduced the IR Pledge Program, which demonstrates the commitment of listed companies to investor relations. Participants had the privilege of hearing from IR Pledge members, Ms. Christy Lam from Link REIT and Mr. Kevin Leung from CR Beers, who provided insights into the latest developments of their respective companies.

Continuing its dedication to knowledge sharing and professional development, HKIRA partnered with CPA Australia and ACFE for a fireside chat on April 23, 2024. This groundbreaking collaboration brought together professionals from various disciplines to discuss fraud cases and their impact on investor relationships. Esteemed speakers, including Mr. Dudley Tyen from ACFE and Mr. Cliff Ip from CPA Australia, shared valuable insights into the challenges faced by listed companies and the potential repercussions of fraud allegations. Dr. Eva Chan, Chairman of HKIRA, shed light on how such cases could affect investor relations, emphasizing the importance of maintaining investor confidence and addressing the legal and regulatory implications.

Key Takeaways and Networking Opportunities:
Both events provided attendees with valuable insights, opportunities to exchange ideas, and the chance to expand their professional networks. Members actively participated in lively discussions, asked questions during dedicated Q&A sessions, and benefited from the expertise of industry professionals. The networking sessions facilitated connections among participants, fostering collaboration and the exchange of best practices.
Looking Ahead:
The recent collaborative events co-hosted by HKIRA, in partnership with CFA Society Hong Kong and CPA Australia x ACFE, have underscored the significance of the IR Pledge Program in promoting excellence in investor relations practices. By providing a platform for knowledge sharing, networking, and collaboration, these events have contributed to the professional growth of HKIRA members and reinforced the importance of effective investor relations in the Hong Kong market. HKIRA remains committed to offering more networking opportunities to its members, fostering connections with industry peers.
