The Chinese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (CICPA), the industry association for accountants in China, said yesterday it would support local firms that apply for certified accountant qualifications in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom.

The CICPA will organize training programmes together with overseas institutions to help Chinese accountants acquire the Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) qualification offered in the UK.

It will also give advice about the Hong Kong Certified Public Accountant (HKCPA) certificate.
