Digitising Corporate Governance - Tricor hosts 18th Annual Corporate Governance Seminar

HONG KONG,Nov. 13,2020 -- Tricor's 18th annual corporate governance seminar is held today at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Supported by the Hong Kong Investor Relations Association and The Chamber of Hong Kong Listed Companies,the half-day event gathered leading industry elites who share on a spectrum of corporate governance related topics,and attracted over 2,000 registrations despite the Covid-19 challenges. With social distancing measures in place,this is the first year it takes a hybrid approach. By deploying Tricor's own e-meeting solution SPOT,the event welcomes both in-person and virtual participants.

"Digitising Corporate Governance",the theme of the seminar,summarises the two most important focuses of corporates this year- digitisation and governance.

"This year marks the 20th anniversary of Tricor and we havehosted our annual corporate governance seminar for 18 years straight since 2003. Tricor has always been taking an active role in promoting a culture of good corporate governance as we strongly believe that it plays an important role in sustaining the business especially during times of uncertainty," says Joe Wan,CEO of Tricor Hong Kong.

"While the trend of digital transformation is irreversible,by leveraging and incorporating advanced tools into our daily workflow,corporate governance can be taken to a new level with improved efficiency,engagement and transparency. Digital tools can definitely help companies reap the benefits of intelligent systems through accelerated business performance and optimised intra-company."

The seminar is kicked off with a keynote speech on "Digital Transformation in Hong Kong",delivered by Dr. David Chung,Under Secretary for Innovation and Technology,Hong Kong's Innovation and Technology Bureau; followed by another keynote session hosted by Prof. K.C. Chan,Non-Executive Director of Tricor Group,on "Digital Transformation in FinTech".

Other speakers from both public and private sectors also share the latest market trends and development,their experiences and perspectives on what and how technologies are adopted in corporate governance in particular in the financial field.

Digital Corporate Governance Solutions

Governance at a corporate level refers to the way in which companies are governed and to what purpose. Technology is now increasingly adopted by corporate governance professionals to achieve best practices.

Our Experiential Lounge at the venue showcases some of our digital corporate governance tools launched earlier this year. Attendees have a chance to experience first-hand how our board portal "Boardfolio" makes board meetings easy; how "SPOT",an e-meeting solution,takes online votes and questions; and how digital administrative tool "e-Rental" streamlines HR operations by automating employees' rental reimbursement applications and claim processes. As the event's key visual suggests,these tools connect people with technologies and most importantly,human-technology collaboration can enhance human capabilities under the new normal.
