Declaration of Investments by Directorate Officers on Final Leave

It is the Government's policy that civil servants during their final leave remain subject to the prevailing civil service rules, including the rules governing the avoidance of conflict of interest. Accordingly, a directorate officer (irrespective of whether he/she is a former holder of a Tier I or Tier II post) who has proceeded on final leave remains subject to the following declaration requirements until he/she has left the service -

(a)

declare his/her investments in and outside Hong Kong biennially;

(b)

declare the occupation of his/her spouse; and

(c)

report on any single investment transaction equivalent to or exceeding HK$200,000 within seven days of transaction between the biennial declarations.

Any declarations filed by a directorate officer during final leave will continue to be processed by his/her Permanent Secretary/Head of Department except for an officer in the Administrative Officer or Executive Officer grade who should lodge declarations with the respective Head of Grade.

Detailed arrangements are set out in CSB Circular No. 8/2006, and the specified forms referenced in that circular are appended below for use by relevant directorate officers -

(a)
