Global Accounting Stream
Global Accounting Stream
BACKGROUND
In light of the increasingly complex business environment besieged with unpredictable changes, many corporations realised that they need to be more sensitive to global issues including corporate governance, sustainability reporting, regulations and risk management. To maintain and promote the sustainability of the Hong Kong economy, it is vital to nurture talents with a global way of thinking and equip students with the abilities of coping with changes.
The Global Accounting (GA) stream has been offered since 2013-14. This stream offers an opportunity for elite accounting students to acquire a global mindset as well as an understanding of international accounting practices and issues to meet the growing demand for high potential, internationally-oriented business leaders. Students in the GA stream will gain international exposure and practical knowledge through the GA Study Trip, internship training and various non-classroom trainings, with scholarships provided.
