What is the Enhanced QP?
The QP prepared and monitored by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) is specifically tailored to Hong Kong's business environment. It is synonymous with quality and a choice for students who seek to stand out among their peers. A professional qualification opens many otherwise closed doors.

The QP breaks the traditional learning mode, exposing students to real business cases. It encourages students to think independently. In workshops, problems are presented which require effective and professional solutions. Emphasis is placed on demonstrating the ability to make professional decisions, contribute through teamwork and interact in a working group.

The QP utilizes the practical business application of accounting, taxation, auditing and IT. Using proven training methods, it prepares you for a career as a competent and forward thinking accountant with a successful business career.

The QP curriculum is a comprehensive, professional and accredited training programme highly regarded in accounting and financial sectors.

Programme Structure
The Enhanced QP comprises the QP and the Final Exam (FE),

QP
The QP objective is to provide candidates with the opportunity to develop the application skills and competencies which are essential for a professional accountant.

QP comprises of 4 modules:
 

Requirement for each module:

• Self-study for 14 weeks using study materials provided by the institute.
• Complete two full-day workshops led by experienced facilitators (each workshop lasts eight hours including a one-hour meal break).
• Pass a three-hour open-book examination.
   

Workshop
Completion of workshop is a prerequisite to sit the module examination of the relevant module. You are required to attend all two full-day workshops and demonstrate your successful accomplishment of the workshop objectives, via active participation. You are required to demonstrate the development of the intended learning objectives by attaining at least 70% of the development indicators for satisfactory completion of workshops.

Those candidates who are unable to obtain satisfactory performance for the workshop are not eligible to take the module examination.

FE
After successful completion of the four QP modules, you take a six-hour open book FE (to be taken in two sessions of three hours for each three-hour session of examination plus half hour reading time).

The FE tests your ability to integrate knowledge and skills from any part of the QP module syllabuses and apply these across all fields of competency, demonstrating a level of skills appropriate to a professional practitioner.
