Disclosure of Interest
To foster public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the
EAA, the EAA adopts a two-tier reporting system on declaration
of interest as a safeguard against potential conflicts of interests.
All Board members and Board-appointed members are required
to register their interests with the EAA upon their appointment
to membership and annually thereafter. They are also required
to declare their interests at all EAA meetings in any subject and
matter under consideration by the EAA, and any conflict of
interest or potential conflict of interest which they may have
with the affairs of the EAA. The register of interests is available for
public inspection.
In addition, all staff of the EAA Administration also have to declare
annually if they have any financial interest, direct or indirect, in
any business or organisation which competes with the EAA, with
which the EAA has business dealings, or which is being regulated
by the EAA.
Regarding interests in land and property, all EAA Board members
and Board-appointed members are required to declare any such
beneficial interests they have in Hong Kong or overseas, without
disclosing details of the addresses. Registrable interests include
land or property owned by a member in his/her name or held
indirectly through another company or person. It also includes
land or property which a member has a right over its disposition
or has any pecuniary interest deriving from it. The managerial staff
of the EAA Administration also adopt a similar requirement in
declaring their interests in land and property.
