Investigations involving the financial industry can be complex and raise serious issues for licensed firms in Hong Kong. When senior management suspects of learns of actual malfeasance they need to consider the effect on their corporate and personal licenses, reputation and clients as well as traditional questions about whether to involve law enforcement, the civil process or suspend or dismiss those involved.
