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

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)
Enrolment deadline:	Online enrolment by 10 January 2022 (offline enrolment by 6 January 2022)

After successful registration, the meeting URL and login password will be provided nearer the event date.
