It is my great pleasure to congratulate the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the Institute) on its golden jubilee, to be celebrated with the hosting of the CPA Congress.
“Over the past 50 years, the Institute, being the accounting and auditing standard-setter for Hong Kong, has gone from strength to strength, making sterling contributions to the accounting profession as well as rendering unswerving support to Hong Kong in maintaining its status as an international financial centre.”
The accounting sector has been playing an indispensable role in the development of our economy. Over the past 50 years, the Institute, being the accounting and auditing standard-setter for Hong Kong, has gone from strength to strength, making sterling contributions to the accounting profession as well as rendering unswerving support to Hong Kong in maintaining its status as an international financial centre. In particular, the Institute provides our accounting professionals with comprehensive training for them to unleash their potential to the fullest and equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to meet the ever-changing market needs.
Under the theme “Creating a Pathway to Advancement: Empowering Enterprises for the Future” and featuring an ensemble of world-class guests and speakers, the CPA Congress is an excellent opportunity for attendees to gain insights into the latest trends and innovations that are on the global agenda for enterprises of all shapes and sizes. I am sure that this flagship event will offer a constructive platform for exchanging views on topical issues and benefit the accounting profession at large.
On this joyous occasion of celebrating such as important milestone, I would like to extend my sincere wishes to the Institute for successfully hosting the CPA Congress today as well as every success in its endeavours in the next 50 years and beyond.
