Code of conduct

MPFA has in place a Code of Conduct for Directors, incorporating key conduct rules specified in the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance, MPFSO and MPFA’s Standing Orders, for directors’ guidance.

MPFA directors are required to declare their interests upon appointment to the Management Board, make timely updates and review the disclosed information on an annual basis.

Directors are also required to disclose any real or potential conflict of interest in a matter under consideration by the Management Board. Particulars of any disclosure are recorded in a register available for public inspection.

MPFA staff must observe the Code of Conduct for Staff, which covers issues like the offer and acceptance of advantages, avoidance of conflicts of interest, declaration of financial interests, etc.

Reporting

Before the commencement of each financial year, MPFA prepares a corporate plan and budget for approval by the Financial Secretary of the HKSAR. Progress of the corporate plan is overseen by the Management Board. An annual report, together with audited financial statements and auditor's report, is submitted to the Financial Secretary of the HKSAR.
