Introduction

The Institute’s Council has undertaken the annual review of strategy and is pleased to share the considerations, updates and refinements that have contributed to the finalization and issue of the Strategic Plan 2026.

At the overarching level the Vision, Mission and Values were considered to remain relevant and that no change is necessary this year.

The Strategic Plan 2025 marked the conclusion of the process of repositioning of the Institute following the further regulatory reform in 2022 and realigned the strategic themes under the headings of Building Trust, Nurturing Talent and Driving Development & Transformation.  

For 2026 the Council has considered how to ensure that the Institute's Strategy continues to reflect the current market needs and demands of the accounting profession, and articulate our value proposition to members and public at large. Having considered the current challenges and circumstances of the profession, the Council has concluded that the themes of Building Trust, Nurturing Talent and Driving Development & Transformation remain appropriate and relevant. The Council has addressed necessary refinements to the focus areas within the themes to ensure that the Institute continues to meaningfully contribute to the sustainable future of the profession and support Hong Kong’s role as an international financial centre, and delivers value to its members.

Under each of the following 12 focus areas there are a number of key actions that will be undertaken to contribute to the goal of addressing and achieving the aims of the strategic themes. Council will be monitoring the progress against key actions.
