On 22nd June 2017, Ms Ai Jing from Zhong Yin Law Firm was invited to carry out a seminar on “Prevention against Duty-related Crime Committed by Bank Employees” at the Beijing branch of Bank of Shanghai. The seminar was presided over by Deputy Governor of the Bank, Mr Liu Wei, and attended by the Bank’s management from different departments, including Assistant Governor Ms Yang Xiaoyi and Chairlady of the Union Ms Zhang Chunlan, as well as over a hundred staff members.

Ms Ai Jing gave a detailed introduction on the criminal characteristics of bank employees and current judicial practice in three aspects: overview, legal application and related cases. Through analysing different cases, the seminar touched upon topics such as the possible crime scenarios, criminal offences, and their attributes and sentencing, all of which a bank employee might confront in a daily routine. It also made several recommendations on the preventions against such crimes. This seminar allowed bank employees to have a better understanding on the regulation compliance relevant to their positions. The overall atmosphere was positive with excellent feedbacks from the employees and the seminar was highly regarded by the Bank’s management.
