The Ministry of Supervision, the Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) and the Commission Against Corruption of Macao have been co-organising thematic seminars on an annual basis since 2008. These seminars aim to provide a platform for graft fighters, government officials and the business sector in the three places to exchange experience and views on issues of common concern. So far, five seminars have been held on aspects of corruption prevention in the finance and construction industries, corporate governance in the private and public sectors as well as integrity management in the civil service. Two seminars were respectively held in Hong Kong and the Mainland. Excluding the speakers and working staff, each seminar was attended by dozens of officers respectively from the anti-graft bodies in the three places for experience sharing purposes. The former Commissioner decided to lead a 22-member delegation to attend the thematic seminar (with about 140 participants in total) held in Macao between 8 and 10 November 2009 after considering the actual needs and duties of the ICAC officers. The former Commissioner delivered a speech at the seminar and was interviewed by the Hong Kong and Macao reporters on the graft-fighting efforts jointly made by the three places. 4 ICAC representatives spoke at the seminar; other officers discharged their respective duties and exchanged views at the seminar. Among them, 5 officers were responsible for liaising with the participants and introducing the work of the ICAC; 2 were responsible for media liaison; 1 represented the ICAC in the working group of the seminar; 4 were responsible for technical support and photographic work; 2 were responsible for preparing the notes of meetings and reports; and 3 of them were officers of the Mainland Liaison Office. Most of the officers either stayed for one night only or returned on the same day.

Session 5 ICAC – page 45
China signed the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) in Dec 2003 and ratified it in January 2006 and the convention was extended to Hong Kong in February 2006. Under a declaration filed by the Central People’s Government of China under UNCAC, the ICAC is duty bound to assist other state parties in promoting and strengthening measures pertaining to corruption prevention. Following the establishment of the International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA) in October 2006 (IAACA is an independent, non-government organisation set up to promote effective implementation of United Nations Convention Against Corruption. Currently, IAACA has more than 300 organisational members which cover anti-corruption agencies and related organisations worldwide. The present President of IAACA is Cao Jianming, the Procurator-General of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate), the former Commissioner, Mr Timothy HM TONG, was appointed a member of the IAACA Executive Committee in late 2008. He was then invited on a number of occasions to attend the IAACA Executive Committee meetings and its international conferences overseas to fulfil his duties as an Executive Committee member. Upon invitation by the IAACA, Mr TONG led delegations comprising officers from different departments of the ICAC to attend the conferences held in different places overseas and acted as speakers or to make reports at various to share anti-graft experience at seminars. Moreover, Mr TONG was also invited to attend and speak at the anti-corruption conferences held overseas on many occasions. With the increase in the number of overseas duty visits and the number of accompanying officers due to actual needs, the air ticket fees and the subsistence allowance outside Hong Kong also increased accordingly.
