(HONG KONG, 11 January 2020) In response to several enquiries concerning the ”HKICPA delegation” for observing the Taiwan Presidential election, the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants hereby clarifies that no delegation nor representative has been sent for the purpose. 

 

The Institute also notes some media reports referring to the concerned delegation. The Institute is a professional body operating under the PAO and reiterates its apolitical stance. 

 

In the event that it does come to their knowledge that they are mistakenly being portrayed as the representatives of the Institute or as part of a delegation organised by the Institute, CPAs are expected to take all necessary steps to rectify the mistake so as to avoid the public from being misled.
