On standard setting and special practices
" Thank you for organising the roundtable discussion on 20 December 2010 and thank you for having me as an observer. It was very interesting to get to to learn the different point of views regarding the ED Leasing and to get to know you from the organising institute. You've done a very good job! "
- Jörg B.
"I appreciate very much for all the training activities conducted by the Standard Setting Department.
Especially the introduction of the practice adopted by the listing companies in their annual reports together with other training materials provided by the big peers.
All these together will enable us at least to have a basic understanding to the existing standards."
– Siu Fan F.
"Please allow me to applaud HKICPA's efforts to pro-actively warn their members of mis-statement on their financial statements. I believe this is the first time I have seen this and I personally think it is a wonderful work.
This is definitely useful to update every HKICPA member's knowledge and also let everyone, including the financial analysts, know the possible adjustments we have to make in order to apply consistent accounting principles that the companies themselves have not been able to do.
Keep up the good work."
– Tom W.
"Tax Link is a good tax article giving us valuable tax knowledge and the latest news about tax affairs. Keep on more frequently so to help us upgrading our tax knowledge.
I, personally, hope that the Link can be connected to more of other publications, for instance TIHK, court case or websites in relating to recent tax issues.
Thanks for your best effort."
– Stephen S.
"I would like to thank you for coming and sharing your expertise on HKFRS for private entities to our professional staff.
We recorded an attendance of over 100 assessing officers. Colleagues found the seminar most interesting and useful. With your kind permission, we have video-recorded the whole seminar. The video and the powerpoint slides of the seminar have now been uploaded to our intranet for the benefit of those colleagues who were unable to attend on that day.
I enclose some photographs taken on that day. Thank you once again and wish you every success in your future endeavours."
