Soft Skills Required by Forensics Practitioners

Unlike traditional accountants who are governed by auditing/ financial reporting standards in performing their duties, forensic practitioners need to exercise reasonable judgment without the guidance of specific standards when carrying out their duties. In this respect, soft skills and critical thinking are pivotal for them in ensuring the quality of their work. In this interactive face-to-face event, the speakers will talk about a number of essential traits and characteristics that forensic accountants should possess, such as being analytical, detail-oriented, ethical, responsive, insightful, and sceptical. On top of this, forensic accountants must be effective communicators, as they need to present their findings clearly and persuasively to various different parties. Their audiences include clients and judges, who may be considered laymen in this field, and may not be familiar with technical terms in the relevant reports.

The event rundown will be as follows:

• A brief introduction of general skillsets that forensic practitioners should possess
• Small group discussions led by respective speakers as facilitators, where participants can discuss and raise questions in their groups, with the speakers providing their feedback
• The facilitators will be invited back to stage to summarize the discussions within their groups
• Overall Q&A session

Recent developments on the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, and its interpretation

The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance strives to protect the privacy interests of living individuals in relation to personal data, which has an impact on all walks of life. Over the past couple of years, the government has been strengthening its efforts to protect personal data privacy and prevent abuses of personal information, including through prosecutions and the introduction of new legislation, such as anti-doxing laws. At the same time, professionals, such as forensic accounting and insolvency practitioners, who may need to gain access to personal for legitimate reasons, may find their work affected by these changes.

At this event, speaker, Joyce Liu of Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Hong Kong, will cover, amongst others:

1. General requirements under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, including exceptions to the general principles of data protection and sanctions and penalties for non-compliance with data protection laws.
2. Application of the law in relation to forensic investigators/ insolvency practitioners when conducting investigations, sharing data with third parties, etc.
3. How the issue of legal privilege dealt with in the context of data protection laws?
4. Issues from the perspective of data subjects, e.g., what action data subjects can take where they believe that there has been misuse of their personal data, major leaks / loss of personal data?

Date: Monday, 10 October 2022

Time: 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Speaker:  Joyce Liu, Legal Counsel, Head of Global Affairs & Research Division, Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Hong Kong

ASIS Hong Kong Chapter is organizing an online seminar about how technology can help detecting emotions through voice analysis. ACFE Hong Kong Chapter members can register free of charge.  Please refer to the event flyer for details.

Topic:

Layered Voice Analysis (LVA) monitors the uncontrolled parameters of the human voice that emerge when a person speaks. This Genuine Emotion Detection identifies the 151 micro markers within the words spoken.

It doesn’t matter how you speak (whether you are acting angry or calm) or what language you speak in, it is language agnostic and is indifferent to any expressed tonality. The technology only monitors how you genuinely feel in a certain situation.

LVA identifies the unique patterns in the human voice, patterns that we as persons have a difficulty to identify on our own. Through 25 years of research, the technology has learnt to identify and correlate with these key human emotions to show us what the other side really feels.

The LVA uses a set of 151 micro voice markers and uses algorithms that together can identify and scale profound emotions and logical states such as: Stress | Excitement | Hesitation | Confusion | Mental Effort | Concentration | Energy | Embarrassment | Arousal | Anger | Sadness | Happiness
