by Professional / Statutory Bodies
Hong
Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA)
Students admitted to MScPACG-PA are
eligible for block exemption of all 10 Associate Modules after graduation
(graduation within the last 5 years), provided that they have met the new QP’s
admission competency requirements. The final decision rests with the HKICPA.
Students who are
assessed individually by the HKICPA as having deficiencies in any of the
business subjects (i.e. Economics, Management, Marketing and Statistics) can
make up their deficiencies by taking the corresponding (prescribed) optional
elective courses in order to be eligible for enrolment in the Professional
Level of the new QP.
Students have the
responsibility to check the syllabuses of the Associate Level Modules of the
new QP, their official transcripts of previous studies and the syllabuses of
subjects studied, to ascertain that their previous studies at the undergraduate
level are on a par with the corresponding QP modules and hence qualify for
module exemption. Otherwise, students are required to study and pass the
relevant (prescribed) optional elective course(s) if they would like to enroll
in the new QP and obtain exemption of those relevant QP modules.
Only those students
who have studied and passed in the subjects with substantial coverage relevant
to Modules of the Associate Level of the new QP of HKICPA are eligible for
exemption of the Modules concerned#.
# The exemption is subject to fulfilling the requirements of
HKICPA.
