Operations
Matching
Procedures
During the reporting
year, the PCPD received 9 new applications for approval to carry out matching
procedures and 49 requests for re-approval to continue matching procedures
approved in previous years. Of these 9 new applications, 7 were requested
by public sector organizations and the remaining 2 applications were made
by a service company. Upon examination, the two applications made by the
service company were found not to be matching procedures as defined under
the PD(P)O. In respect of the other 7 applications, two were withdrawn
and approval was not required in another two applications. The remaining
three applications were approved subject to certain conditions.
