We hope you all have been keeping well and staying safe! The ACC HK Financial Services group’s next lunch circle will be held as a virtual Zoom “lunch” meeting on Tuesday, 4 May 2021 from 12:30 - 2:00 pm.

As with past lunches, the agenda will consist of crowd-sourced discussion topics submitted by attendees so that we can share ideas and input with each other.

There are several topics that the Financial Services Subcommittee Co-Chairs propose for this lunch, including: Hong Kong SFC Consultation on Management and Disclosure of Climate-related Risks; APAC employer programs / efforts to encourage / incentivize employees to get Covid-19 vaccines; and conducting internal investigations during COVID/remote working, but we are also looking for each attendee to propose a topic to discuss.

The details of everything we discuss at the lunch is strictly confidential and subject to Chatham House rules, which will allow our discussion to be fulsome and candid (and as a result, helpful and productive) – our goal is to maximize the input from a broad cross section of firms across various financial services industries in a discreet and confidential setting in order to make the lunch informative and valuable.

We encourage those who have not attended an ACC HK Financial Services group event (or those who have been away for a while) to join us and participate. The event headcount will typically be capped to give everyone time to discuss their topics. We look forward to welcoming you to the lunch!

Venue:  Zoom details will be forwarded upon registration

Date:  Tuesday, 4 May 2021

Time:  12:30 pm - 2:00 pm

RSVP: Monday, 3 May 2021

Now more than ever it is critical for in-house lawyers to show their value, along with that of the legal department. A critical skill is being able to speak the language of business – numbers. While you may not need an MBA, you can definitely show how much of a superstar you are if you know the basics of corporate finance.

What you’ll learn:
•    The basics of corporate finance;
•    The difference between a cash flow statement, balance sheet, and P&L;
•    Key terms and important formulas that give insight into how the business is operating;
•    A lot more!

This is also a great refresher for those of us who are already familiar with the basics.
