The Hong Kong Police,
Education and Manpower Bureau, Television and Entertainment Licencing
Authority jointly organized a promotion program with an objective to
boost cyber ethic among the younger generation and to protect them from
potential threats to the use of the Internet. The organizers also invited
ISACA (Hong Kong Chapter) to participate in this important event. As
part of the promotion - a fun fair programme was held at the Police
Officer Club on 15 August, 2003.
Our Chapter specially
designed a “PAIR” PC game and attracted many young enthusiasts.
Some of them managed to beat the game and walked away happily with an
ISACA baseball cap.
As part of the Hong
Kong Government's Policy Objectives in sustaining a level playing field
in Hong Kong, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has
been delegated to launch a series of business ethics programmes by encouraging
and assisting public listed and major companies as well as trade and
professional associations to adopt ethical practices.
The ISACA (Hong
Kong Chapter) was invited to contribute for the organization of a forum
"Leveraging Information Technology - Ethics Perspectives for Managers"
Forum 2001 held in November 2001.
Our Vice President
Mr. William Gee was also invited to deliver a keynote speech "Information
Security Risks - The Ethical Perspective". You may view his presentation

To continue with
the important mission of further promoting the business ethics to the
community, in particular, the IT industry, the ICAC has recently produced
the following management package for use by managers on integrity issues
in an e-working environment.
“ethics@work
- a guide for business managers in the use of IT”
The ISACA, the ICAC
and 12 professional organizations/chambers of commerce have collaborated
to produce the captioned Guide. It is tailor-made for managers who are
not trained IT experts but who have to supervise their teams in the
use of computers and the Internet. The Guide, has been published in
June 2003, offers managers practical advice on how to identify integrity
risks in the workplace and proactively reduce them by ethical management.
Contents of the
Guide include:
- Case illustrations
from the ICAC’s investigation files.
- An analytical
framework for addressing corruption from the legal and ethical perspectives.
- An ethical management
model and some practical measures.
- A directory
of services provided by publishers, particularly the ICAC.
Members who wish
to collect a hardcopy of the Guide may make a request on-line to the
Hong Kong Ethics Development Centre (HKEDC) of the ICAC (www.icac.org.hk/hkedc).
