Authorised Supervisors

A new competency-based framework for practical experience requirement to define more accurately the types of skills that individuals should acquire during the period of practical experience before becoming a HKICPA member has been adopted, on a voluntary basis, on 1 September 2002. Mandatory implementation will occur on 1 January 2005. The new framework will bring closer the relationship between prospective members, their supervisors, employers and the Institute under a supervised training environment.

Under the new framework, in line with practices of many overseas professional accountancy bodies, a more structured system of practical experience supervision and guidance is introduced. The scheme involves the HKICPA accrediting members of the Institute or recognised accountancy institutes to serve as Authorised Supervisors so that they have a clear understanding of their obligations in ensuring that prospective members attain the appropriate type and level of practical experience for membership admission.
