  Battling for the best
 
Cynthia Lo, executive director of Baker Tilly Hong Kong, believes that the competency-based practical experience framework of QP is crucial to employers. QP training develops the professional competence of staff. She finds QP graduates are competent, ambitious and achievement-oriented.


 

A force to be reckoned with
 
Ray Mo, inspector of police, thanks QP for preparing him to work in the world of professional accountancy and also piquing his interest in finance and the workings of companies. The transferrable QP skills equip him well to meet challenges in fighting against crimes such as fraud, false accounting and insider trading.
