On 21 September 2026, the Private Sector Integrity Centre (PSIC) welcomed some 50 members of the Accounting Development Foundation (ADF), led by Chairman Mr Edwin Yeung and Immediate Past Chairman Mr Louis Chow, for a visit to the ICAC and a seminar on the guardian role of accounting professionals in upholding integrity. 

The PSIC speaker highlighted that integrity and professional ethics are key for accountants to discharge their duties effectively, while their expertise in financial controls and risk management can help strengthen corporate governance and guard against corruption risks. 

ADF members also joined a guided tour to the ICAC Exhibition Hall, gaining a  deeper understanding of the ICAC’s culture and its commitment to fostering a fair, just, and corruption-free society.

PSIC looks forward to continuing its collaboration with professional bodies to champion professional ethics, integrity management, and sound corporate governance across the private sector. 

A delegation from the Trust and Integrity Enterprise Alliance, comprising 40 senior executives of Mainland enterprises, recently visited the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). The delegation met with Ms. Irene WANG, Acting Director of Corruption Prevention, and attended a seminar on "Fighting Corruption and Promoting Integrity — Corporate Corruption Prevention and Capacity Building." 

During the seminar, Ms. Anna LAM, Executive Director of the Private Sector Integrity Centre (PSIC), introduced the work of the ICAC and achievements of Hong Kong’s integrity building efforts to the participants, and shared key tips for strengthening corporate integrity management. The delegation then visited the ICAC Exhibition Hall and the "1974" café”, gaining an immersive experience of the ICAC's journey in the fight against corruption.

The 2^nd meeting (2025-2026 term) of Hong Kong Business Ethics Development Advisory Committee was held on 10 September 2026, with 19 representatives from 17 chambers in attendance.

During the meeting, the Director of Corruption Prevention highlighted that Hong Kong continues to provide a business-friendly environment underpinned by a clean, fair and transparent business landscape. Members were also briefed on ICAC’s latest efforts and exchanged views on strengthening anti-corruption capabilities across various sectors.  The Assistant Director of Corruption Prevention and the Executive Director of the newly formed Private Sector Integrity Centre (PSIC) also took the opportunity to introduce the work of the PSIC, collect feedback from members for its upcoming new initiatives, and call for their support. 

Following the meeting, chamber representatives joined the launch ceremony of PSIC, alongside leaders from various professional bodies and industry associations.

The ICAC today (September 10) launched the Private Sector Integrity Centre (the Centre), which consolidates the existing resources of its Corruption Prevention Advisory Service and the Hong Kong Business Ethics Development Centre. As an integrated service and knowledge hub, the Centre offers comprehensive and risk-based corruption prevention and integrity support to the private sector. Through public-private partnership, it aims to fortify ethical corporate culture, safeguard Hong Kong’s clean business environment, while setting a global benchmark in anti-corruption governance.

Speaking at the launch ceremony of the Centre, Director of Corruption Prevention Department Mr Martin Lee King-man noted that “Business integrity and the rule of law are key pillars underpinning Hong Kong’s position as one of the world’s cleanest and most competitive cities. The establishment of the Centre marks a new phase of ICAC’s more targeted and diversified anti-corruption strategy, and opens a new chapter in our efforts to elevate integrity standards in the private sector. The ICAC will continue to leverage its local and international chamber networks and deepen public-private partnership to foster a clean business environment, thereby consolidating Hong Kong’s role as a ‘super connector’ and ‘super value adder’.”

As an integrated service and knowledge hub, the Centre will strengthen the private sector’s integrity capabilities through four key service areas: providing individual private organisations with “Integrated Integrity Management Solutions” to assist them in formulating and reviewing codes of conduct, strengthening internal controls, and offering expert corruption prevention advice to enhance their risk management and compliance audit capabilities; developing “Bespoke Integrity Training” and integrity culture-building programmes to strengthen anti-corruption capabilities across industries; co-organising “Accredited Continuing Professional Development Courses” with regulators and professional bodies to promote professional integrity and enhance the industry’s overall anti-corruption awareness; and developing “Practical Corruption Prevention Tools” for different sectors to encourage and assist organisations in adopting standardised corruption prevention measures to improve their integrity management systems, and jointly build a clean business culture.

Approximately 50 leaders and representatives from over 30 chambers of commerce, professional bodies and industry associations attended the launch ceremony today, pledging to work alongside the ICAC to foster a culture of integrity in the private sector through pragmatic integrity management strategies, robust compliance frameworks, and effective governance solutions, thereby creating long-term value for Hong Kong.

The ICAC is one of the region’s pioneering government agencies in corruption prevention and business ethics promotion for the private sector. Since launching the Corruption Prevention Advisory Service in 1985 and the Hong Kong Business Ethics Development Centre in 1995, the ICAC has offered corruption prevention advice to more than 7,000 private organisations. In the past five years, it has also provided integrity training to over 536,000 employees. Building on this foundation, the Centre consolidates existing resources to continue providing advisory services, integrity training, thematic seminars, and anti-corruption tools for various industries.
