Abstract

It is a well‐known fact that Hong Kong needs more accountants. It is also true that the question of 1997, when Hong Kong returns to China, scares many accountants away from the territory. However, there are not enough university accounting graduates interested in joining the auditing professions. Reports on a study showing that there are significant differences between the perceptions of students and the actual requirements of certified public accounting firms on working conditions, which may discourage graduates joining the profession.

Abstract

The Hong Kong Society of Accountants proposes to allow incorporating audit practices in Hong Kong. Finds that auditors are anxious about their increasing risk and the legal liabilities of their work, believing that incorporation is the best method to protect their interests. Many auditors believe that the profession should place the public interests at the top but the interests of the profession should also be protected. Therefore incorporation of the audit practice is necessary in Hong Kong, but strict rules should be imposed to prevent abuse. In addition, finds that clients are not concerned about this issue. The bankers will give a lower value to the audited financial statements issued by incorporated audit firms. In implementation, the professional indemnity insurance and the minimal capital requirement will become the key concern of auditors to incorporate their audit firms.
