Hong Kong listed-Century Entertainment International announced on May 19th that its board has formally adopted a new Internal Control Manual, effective May 6th, 2026, as part of efforts to strengthen the gaming company’s compliance and risk management framework.
The move is intended to bring the company in line with the corporate governance requirements of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which set standards for internal control and risk management among listed companies.
According to the announcement, the manual establishes procedures for identifying, assessing, and reporting the company’s disclosure obligations to the market. It also sets out a governance framework with multi-tier approval and compliance monitoring procedures for major transactions and deals involving connected parties.
The manual further addresses risk identification, financial controls, compliance management, internal audit oversight, and whistle-blowing mechanisms. It defines the internal control responsibilities of the board, audit committee, management, and employees, while establishing periodic review, assessment, and update mechanisms.
The company stated that the manual aims to safeguard assets, ensure reliable financial reporting, support operational efficiency, and protect the interests of shareholders and stakeholders across the group.
Trading in Century Entertainment shares has been suspended on the Stock Exchange since June 26th, 2025, and will remain suspended until further notice. The company said it would continue to monitor and review the effectiveness of the manual’s implementation.
