In the face of rapid technological advancement, it is crucial for crime officers to acquire the latest professional knowledge and information on laws and regulations in this dynamically changing commercial and financial operating environment in order to cope with the crimes so derived. To this end, the Commercial Crime Bureau (CCB) organised a Commercial Crime Advanced Course (CCAC) between September 9 and 11 for financial investigators to further enhance their professional knowledge and develop their confidence and competence in undertaking complex commercial crime investigations.

CCAC comprised a series of lectures and sharing sessions presented and led by guest speakers from the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, the Hong Kong Securities and Investment Institute and the Securities and Futures Commission, who are experts in their fields. The course particularly focused on law enforcement powers and their application, advanced knowledge in fintech and cryptocurrency, listing rules, as well as complicated commercial crime case study. During the course, the guest speakers shared valuable experience and practical knowledge with 65 participants from CCB, Financial Investigation Division of the Narcotics Bureau and the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau.
