The Closing Ceremony of the Credit Risk Management course co-organised by HSMC’s Executive Development Centre (EDC) and TransUnion, was held on 5 August 2016, the last day of the course. Provost Gilbert Fong, Vice-President Y V Hui (Academic and Research), Ms Joanna Kwok, Director of EDC, Mr Samuel Ho, Managing Director of TransUnion Limited, and Mr Rockson Hsu, Credit Risk Officer of Chong Hing Bank, attended the ceremony to witness the success of the participants.

The Credit Risk Management course aimed at streamlining industry practitioners’ skills in managing and mitigating credit risks, detecting fraud and making better credit decisions. The course was conducted by HSMC lecturers and experts from TransUnion. There were a total of 30 graduates from Chong Hing Bank, 15 of whom were mid to senior level employees who had completed the course earlier on 18 March 2016.

Vice-President Y V Hui stated in his closing remarks, “The 3-day training provided an opportunity for participants to learn and exchange ideas as well as to share experience in order to increase their professional knowledge on credit risk management and further their career development. EDC will also collaborate with TransUnion to offer various related training courses for professionals in the banking, finance, insurance and investment fields.” Vice-President Hui also expressed his gratitude to the colleagues of Chong Hing Bank who participated in the course design and attended the course which emphasised both theory and applications. He hoped the participants could have a thorough understanding of the credit risk management and associated behaviour.
