Transitional arrangements of revised Practical Experience Framework

Transitional arrangements for QP students 

 

The Practical Experience Framework (“PE Framework”) has been revised and will be launched on 21 December 2022. Details of the transitional arrangement are as follows:

 

Candidates registered as QP students and have started accumulating experience before 1 January 2023 (“transitioning students”) can continue to use the legacy system (i.e. hard copies of Training Records) to attain the practical experience under the old PE Framework until the end of the three-year transitional period, i.e. 31 December 2025. For candidates who registered as QP students after 1 January 2023, they are required to follow requirements under the revised PE Framework to record the practical experience through the online system.

 

Transitioning students who have completed the QP examinations and practical experience requirement and have applied for HKICPA membership during the three-year transitional period, will not be subject to the new 10-year Recency Rule.

 

Transitioning students who have not attained full practical experience under the old PE Framework during the three-year transitional period (i.e. 31 December 2025), will be required to attain practical experience under the revised PE Framework to make up for the shortfall on a pro-rata basis.

 

At the time of application for the HKICPA membership, transitioning students are required to submit the signed-off  Training Records and a completed Conversion Report. The Institute has developed a Conversion Tool template to assist transitioning students in converting the achieved practical experience under the old PE Framework to the revised PE Framework. 

 

The requirements for transitioning students are summarized in the table below:
