HKCAAVQ continued to work closely with awarding institutions ൙ᄲ҅ᘱᚃၾબዚʲΥЪd˸
to authenticate applicants’ qualifications. Apart from awarding ᜕ᗇ͡ሗɛٙኪዝfৰəબዚ̮d
institutions, we have started using national resource centres to Ңࡁ͵කԴ͜Չ˼༟ࣘࢫ̘ආБ
authenticate qualifications and at times fake qualifications were ኪዝ᜕ᗇʿᗆйኪዝfίజѓಂʫd
detected. During the reporting period, we identified 16 cases of fake Ңࡁᗆй16֚ऒʿൈኪዝʘ͡ሗdԨ
qualifications which were all reported to the Hong Kong Police. ʊΣ࠰ಥᙆ˙ᑘజൈኪዝࡈࣩf
