On 5 March 2019, the Faculty of Finance invited Mr Paul Yeung (Vice President, Corporate Leading, Banking of America, Hong Kong Branch) to give a seminar on the theme "Anti-Money Laundering Issues of Financial Institutions''. At the beginning of the seminar, Mr Yeung asked the students in the PhD in Finance program questions to stimulate their thinking.
Mr Yeung guided the students to think about the reasons and ways of anti-money laundering from various angles, and pointed out the responsibilities and obligations of banks to report and supervise money laundering activities as well as personnel and institutions.
Through academic discussions, Mr Yeung familiarized the students with the money laundering channels, influences and reporting obligations. The entire discussion process was easy and pleasant, and the audience interacted with the guest frequently. The whole seminar was lively and interesting. The students learned to apply their knowledge. Mr Yeung guided the students to get in touch with the unfamiliar field of anti-money laundering through examples and interactive discussions. In the end, Associate Dean Khong Yueng Wah made a concluding comment on the students: Everyone is passionate about diversified cultivation and training! The study and absorption of international finance theory cannot be separated from the test of practice! The students look forward to the in-depth study of various widely concerned issues at the forefront of finance!
