The HKICPA unleashes a record number of accountants on unsuspecting Hong Kong
The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants recently graduated a class of 1,888, a new record. The candidates for full certification will have to complete three years of work before becoming fully qualified. The job pool just a lot fuller, but as we have pointed out, there are a lot of jobs out there for accounting professionals in Hong Kong.
From the HKICPA statement:
“We’ve come a long way in building our programme. Our qualification is recognized as equal to some of the best institutes in the world and once our graduates become our members, the mainland is more accessible to them under CEPA”, says Winnie C.W. Cheung, chief executive & registrar of the Hong Kong Institute of CPAs.
…
“Good accountants are a prerequisite for the mainland’s economic growth and Hong Kong’s role as a financial centre”, says Wilson Fung, president of the Institute. “They are trained to a sophisticated standard as as progress towards joining the world’s most prestigious accounting professionals.”
