The Securities and Futures Ordinance is one of the most important, comprehensive and complicated pieces of legislation enacted to date. With its 40 pieces of subsudiary legislations, the SFO brings about many changes to the regulatory framework of Hong Kong's financial industry. These changes present deep and far-reaching implications to all market players from both the securities and banking sectors, the stock exchange, listed companies, and their respective management and investors.

The Securities and Futures Commission, as our honoured programme sponsor, has contributed the valuable time of its senior staff to act as our speakers. This conference presents the first opportunity since the SFO came into effect in April 2003 for market participants to interact with the regulators in a pulic forum designed to better our understnading of the SFO and its sub-legislations. This is a major event in 2003 for Hong Kong's financial community no to be missed.
