Update on HKFRS 15 and governance & regulatory changes (2017)

Date/Time:

16:00 Tuesday 23 May

Moore Stephens would like to invite you to the forthcoming seminar.
 
HKFRS 15 Revenue with Contracts with Customers will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The new requirements will result in changes to the way companies recognise revenue. Companies should assess the extent of the impact to address the business implications, including changes to the profile of margins on contracts, system and processes, and compliance with debt covenants.
 
In the last number of years, there were many developments in the area of governance and regulatory requirements for companies listed in Hong Kong, the HKEx amended the listing rules to include disclosure requirements with reference to the new Companies Ordinance. There are also new provisions related to risk management and internal controls; reporting on environmental, social and governance; new requirements related to inside information and connected transactions.
 
Our speakers will provide you an in-depth guide on HKFRS 15, and a quick update to the recent development in the area of governance and regulatory changes and will discuss a number of non-compliance cases, in particular related to inside information and connected transactions to share with you the issues, how the regulators are addressing them and some of the consequences.
