Chinese media reports indicate that the Securities Association of China (SAC) has proposed implementing a system to recover compensation from industry practitioners found in violation of integrity and ethical standards.
According to a report by China Finance Information on Monday (September 14), the SAC is currently soliciting industry feedback on proposed revisions to its implementing rules regarding integrity and ethical conduct for securities institutions and their employees, with the information being obtained from relevant sources.
The revised rules introduce a more comprehensive incentive and disciplinary framework, with particular emphasis on establishing a mechanism for the recovery and deduction of compensation. Securities firms would be empowered to reclaim remuneration from responsible individuals if it is confirmed that they have breached integrity regulations, acting in accordance with employment contracts and internal company policies.
