HKICPA and HKBU Ink Three-Year Partnership to Nurture Accounting Talent

The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) signed a three-year memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) to foster accounting and business talent through HKBU’s School of Business. The partnership expands support for students, including those outside accounting disciplines, in areas such as accounting, auditing, and sustainability. HKICPA President Stephen Law stated that the agreement allows students to gain early insight into the accounting profession’s career pathways.

The MoU marks the first such agreement the HKICPA has made with a local higher education institution. The collaboration aims to integrate sustainability skills into the curriculum, helping students understand professional qualification pathways and career routes in the global business environment.
