COMPETENCY-BASED PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE FRAMEWORK

In line with practices of many overseas professional accountancy bodies, a more structured system of practical experience supervision and guidance has been introduced by the Institute. The new competency-based Practical Experience Framework ("PEF") defining the types of skills that individuals should acquire during the period of practical experience before becoming a member of the Institute has been adopted, on a voluntary basis, on 1 September 2002 and become mandatory for all HKICPA registered students on 1 January 2005.

In other words, a HKICPA registered student will be required to obtain the appropriate type and level of practical experience under an Authorised Employer or Authorised Supervisor accredited by the HKICPA. The PEF will bring closer the relationship between prospective members, their supervisors, employers and the Institute under a supervised training environment.
