about us
Industry group for BCM Professionals
Following its informal existence, the former Hong Kong Financial Services Business Continuity Management Forum (HKFSBCM), also called the "Forum", was founded in 2011 as a self-initiated group of passionate and experienced BCM professionals in the banking industry. In 2014, the Forum was renamed to HKSFBCM and registered as a Society in Hong Kong, in order to support future initiatives and projects. In 2018, HKFSBCM Ltd was filed with the Hong Kong Companies Registry.
HKFSBCM's mission is to provide a high-performing platform to facilitate business continuity information exchange, and to allow members to jointly work together to address BCM concerns in the financial industry in Hong Kong and elsewhere. Currently, HKFSBCM has around 25 corporate members, including some of the world's largest names in the financial industry. The Forum holds monthly meetings where members meet to discuss key and the most current topics in financial industry BCM. Other major activities include conducting industry surveys and benchmark exercises, exchanging BCM information, collaborating with third parties including regulatory bodies and service providers, and coordinating joint exercises and industry-wide initiative.
Board members of HKFSBCM are elected to volunteer their time and efforts to administer and govern the Forum, and to lead it to achieve its mission. In addition to the Board, HKFSBCM forms special task forces, committees and working groups to focus on particular major initiatives, projects and topics.
