NEW YORK and NASHVILLE (October 24, 2011) – The U.S. International Qualifications Appraisal Board and the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants have entered into a five-year Mutual Recognition Agreement that establishes the basis for reciprocity between the U.S. and Hong Kong accounting professions.

“The agreement we’ve signed today with the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants will make great strides in advancing the reciprocity of CPAs in the U.S. and in Hong Kong,” said William Treacy, chair of U.S. IQAB. “IQAB has thoroughly evaluated the educational, examination and experience requirements of CPAs in Hong Kong and is confident they are substantially equivalent to those of the U.S. CPA.”

The agreement was signed at NASBA’s 104th Annual Meeting in Nashville.

美国时间2011年10月24日，在NASBA第104次年会上，美国国际资格评估委员IQAB会和香港注册会计师协会已经签订了5年的互认协议，确立了美国CPA和香港CPA之间互惠的基本条件。IQAB将负责评估这两个CPA资格之间的教育背景，考试和工作经验方面的互认条件。

U.S. IQAB is a joint body of the American Institute of CPAs and the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy.
