Joint ForensIG-CFIG webinar:
Identifying and Managing Latest Regional and HK Business Risks

The business landscape has become increasingly complex and uncertain as Hong Kong is caught in the middle of the great U.S.-China power struggle. Over the past few months, the regulatory environment within the Mainland itself has also been giving rise to uncertainties for companies and investors, particularly in specific sectors like what has just happened in the Macau gaming industry. When added to the widely-reported woes of the over-leveraged Mainland property sector, where bond defaults have started to occur, we could ask whether the business climate in the region is in danger of mirroring the concerns surrounding the atmospheric climate. Against this background, the speaker, business risk expert, Mr. Steve Vickers, will discuss the following topics in the next ForensIG event.  

1. Political risks: What can companies do to minimise the risks and uncertainties that they face? 
2. The Evergrande situation: Whether the company’s growing financial straits could have a wider impact on China’s economy, including on Hong Kong, and even internationally?
3. Variable Interest Entity (VIE): Is this still a reliable arrangement for foreign investment in certain Mainland sectors? 

Date:	Thursday, 13 January 2022
Time:	1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Speaker:	Steve Vickers Founder and CEO of Steve Vickers & Associate
Language:	English
Enquiries:	Marco Yip (marcoyip@hkicpa.org.hk); Ki Wong (wkwong@hkicpa.org.hk)

Further details

The webinar will cover the following:

• Security has gone mainstream as a feature of a larger value proposition and the impacts it has on our old truths of high security are being challenged. What are they and how to respond?
• Megatechs influence both in business practices as well as standards like CHiP, LORA, and 5G impacting the way our systems work
• The impact of new access control companies in the past 6 months raising $300+M in capital to exercise in the global market. We have never seen this before.
• The introduction of the end user as a stakeholder. With mobile and the increased adoption of new technology such as health attestation, end users will now influence what systems go in, stay, and how they function. We are all set up for the admin and the dealer…what do we do with the end user?
• Our industry has forever been about keeping bad people out, it is now about letting the right person in. We are applying 30-year-old products and processes to today and tomorrow use cases.
