CG Code amendments
In mid-April, 2011, ACGA submitted a response to a Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEx) consultation paper, published in December 2010, on proposed changes to the Hong Kong Code on Corporate Governance Practices.

- Directors' duties and recommendations, including on the number of directorships;
- Director training and independent directors;
- Remuneration and nomination committee;
- Corporate governance committee;
- Audit committee;
- Management accounts;
- Shareholders' general meetings;
- Voting by poll; and
- Appointment and removal of auditors.
