The chief executive of the Institute,
Ms. Winnie Cheung, would like to give our prospective CPAs the latest update on a number of recent decisions made by the Council on fees and benefits, and the profession's recent development.


  Recruiting right people
 
Chris Wong, staff partner of RSM Nelson Wheeler, finds that the authorized employer scheme of QP helps his firm to recruit quality staff and maintain a stable workforce.  QP gives employees the confidence that they are provided with proper coach and guidance in qualifying as a competent professional accountant.


  Money matters
 
Kasper Leung believes that the most useful feature of QP is its focus on providing students with experience of problem-solving via the interactive workshops.   The practicality and comprehensiveness of the QP training equips him with flexible skill sets to adapt to different career options.
