Representation and Advocacy
AIA’s international management committees play a vital role in advancing the Association’s presence and influence within the global accounting profession. The Hong Kong SAR (China) Management Committee, established in 1973, has been a cornerstone of this effort for over five decades. In 2023, the committee proudly celebrated its 50th anniversary—a milestone that reflects its long-standing commitment to supporting members and promoting professional excellence.
The committee serves as a strong voice for AIA members in the region, advocating for their interests and ensuring their perspectives are considered in policymaking, regulatory developments, and industry-wide discussions. Its work helps shape a professional environment that reflects the needs and aspirations of the AIA community.
In addition to advocacy, the committee builds and maintains relationships with government bodies and local professional organisations. These efforts support the recognition of the AIA Professional Qualification and enhance the Association’s reputation across the region.
The committee also provides expert input on local technical consultations and regulatory matters. By staying informed on developments in the accounting landscape and maintaining close ties with national professional bodies, the committee fosters knowledge sharing, collaboration, and the promotion of best practice.

Education and Networking
The Hong Kong SAR (China) Management Committee plays a key role in supporting AIA members through education, professional development, and community engagement.
The committee contributes to AIA’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programmes, helping ensure members have access to high-quality learning resources and opportunities to grow their skills throughout their careers. This commitment to lifelong learning supports members in staying current and competitive in a fast-evolving profession.
In addition, the committee builds strong relationships with local educational institutions. These partnerships create opportunities for members to enhance their qualifications and support aspiring professionals in entering the accountancy field.
Equally important is the committee’s role in fostering connections among members. By creating a peer network, the committee enables professionals to exchange ideas, share best practices, and collaborate. Social events organised by the committee offer a more informal setting for networking, encouraging camaraderie and strengthening the AIA community in the region.
