Mrs Betty YIP TANG Lock-yue
Mrs Yip has been Personal Secretary and latterly
Senior Personal Secretary to the Director of Audit for nearly
30 years and has served, with outstanding efficiency, loyalty
and devotion to duty, all but one of the post-war incumbents
of that office. She is not only one of the longest serving
officers of her rank in the Government but with only one
exception she has longer continuous service in the Hong Kong Audit Department than any officer of whatever rank. She is
an essential element in the smooth functioning of the department and a virtually indispensable assistant to the Director in the performance of his duties and responsibilities, especially during the preparation of the annual audit report which involves her in a heavy work schedule.
