Further Accountancy Training

Having joined the traineeship scheme, accounting staff can proceed to sit for examinations conducted by the Hong Kong Association of Accounting Technicians (HKAAT). Upon the completion of the examinations, they are qualified to enroll in a Foundation Programme or an accounting degree accredited by HKSA. After they have completed the Programme, they are eligible to register as HKSA students to attend the Qualification Programme.
