The Monetary Authority of Macao (AMCM) and Macao's Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) jointly held a thematic lecture on corporate governance and integrity building for financial institutions, aimed at strengthening sector awareness of legal compliance and integrity practices. More than 70 financial institutions participated, with around 300 middle and senior managers attending. The programme covered integrity as a line of defence and the development of compliance, essential governance requirements for credit institutions and insurers, the design and implementation of codes of conduct, promotion of an integrity culture, and conflict-of-interest management. In remarks during the event, AMCM highlighted the role of senior management in setting the tone and the importance of robust internal control mechanisms and high ethical standards, while CCAC promoted a shift from “passive compliance” to “proactive” integrity building, supported by leadership-driven internal governance systems. A Q&A session followed, with speakers responding to questions from participating institutions. AMCM and CCAC encouraged institutions to continue strengthening integrity culture and compliance management to support higher governance standards and market credibility in Macao’s financial sector.
