Code on Access to Information
The ICAC exists to serve the community well within available resources. To this end, it recognises the need for the community to be well informed about the ICAC, the services it provides and the basis for policies and decisions that affect individuals and the community as a whole.
The Code on Access to Information (the Code) defines the scope of information that will be provided, sets out how the information will be made available either routinely or in response to a request, and lays down procedures governing its prompt release.
The Code authorises and requires our staff, routinely or on request, to provide information unless there are specific reasons for not doing so. These reasons are set out in Part 2 of the Code and will normally be referred to if a request for information is refused.
The ICAC has designated a Commission Access to Information Officer to ensure requests for information will be handled as promptly and helpfully as possible and if necessary, members of the public may be approached to clarify their requests or the requests may be directed to the most appropriate department.
The Code also sets out procedures for review or complaint if a member of the public considers that the provisions of the Code have not been properly applied.
The Code can be accessed at https://www.access.gov.hk/en/home/index.html.
Requests for information or records held by the ICAC may be made by email to general@icac.org.hk, or by letter or application form also obtainable from the ICAC Building and its Regional Offices. Please email the application to general@icac.org.hk or send by mail to:
