In the General Meeting held on 5 January 2022, Mr Simon Peh, Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Hong Kong, China (Hong Kong ICAC), was elected the President for the new three-year term (2022-2024).
"I am deeply grateful to the Central People's Government and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government for supporting me in taking up the presidency of the IAACA. It demonstrates the unwavering commitment of the Hong Kong ICAC to contributing to the global anti-corruption cause. I also wish to express my gratitude to all IAACA members for their backing and trust. We will work closely together in the next three years to sustain IAACA's existing programmes, implement new initiatives and chart a clear way forward for the Association." Mr Peh remarked.
The new term of the IAACA Executive Committee (ExCo) was appointed by the General Meeting held on 5 January 2022. It consists of a President, four Vice-Presidents, 14 Organisational and Honorary Members, two Advisers and an Observer.
The ultimate aim is to strengthen IAACA's role as the focal point of international anti-corruption collaboration, and to enable IAACA to take centre stage of the international anti-corruption mission.
To extend our reach to all anti-corruption agencies in different parts of the world in a systematic and coordinated approach, a new regional coordination mechanism has been introduced. Under this mechanism, member organisations are categorised under five regional groups with reference to the United Nations Regional Groups of Member States, each led by a Regional Coordinator.
