The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong has appointed a seven-member Ethics and Guidance Committee to advise Council and Committee Members on the guidelines and related matters after it becomes a public body.

Moses Cheng is the Convenor of the Ethics and Guidance Committee. Other members are Thaddeus Beczak, Henry Chan, Fong Hup, Frederick Ma, David Roberts and Peter Wong.

The Exchange is discussing with the Independent Commission against Corruption and the Securities and Futures Commission about the guidelines, which was approved by the Exchange Council.

Last year, the Exchange approved a proposal that it and the SEHK Options Clearing House Limited become public bodies under the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance.
