Division 04

Financial Management & Services

Treasury, settlement and contract administration for the group and its trading counterparties. Not a regulated financial service.

Overview

This is the group’s own finance function, extended to the counterparties it trades with. It covers treasury, multi-currency settlement, working-capital planning and the administration of trade documentation. It is not a financial service offered to the public.

Scope of work

  • Multi-currency settlement across HKD, CNH and USD
  • Working-capital planning for trade cycles
  • Contract administration and documentary credit handling
  • Counterparty screening and payment controls
  • Group-level budgeting and management reporting
01

Treasury and settlement

Contracts are settled in Hong Kong dollars, offshore renminbi or US dollars through the company’s bank accounts. Currency exposure across a trade cycle is planned when the contract is priced, not after.

Every payment is matched to an underlying contract and to the documents that evidence performance.

02

Contract and document administration

Preparation and checking of commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading and certificates of origin; handling of documentary credits and the discrepancy correspondence that goes with them.

Records are retained for the periods required by the Companies Ordinance and the Inland Revenue Ordinance.

03

Payment controls

Counterparty and sanctions screening before onboarding and before first payment; beneficiary details confirmed through a channel other than the one that supplied them; no payment to a third party that is not named in the contract.

These controls exist because the group moves goods across borders, not because a regulator requires them of a company of this kind.
