Ms Mak Wai Man fined HK$25k+costs by HKICPA for exaggerating CV
HKICPA, 31-Aug-2015
Unusually, the complaint came not from the HKICPA but from a member, Gilbert Cho Kui Keung. The media release states that the complaint was made under s34(1AAA). That's an indirect way of saying that after the Council decided not to refer the complaint to the Disciplinary Panels, he forced them to do so using this section. Well done Mr Cho and shame on the HKICPA - once again demonstrating why self-regulation doesn't work.

HKICPA reprimands Wallen Wu for quoting a fee on his web site
HKICPA, 2-Dec-2013
Who knew that the HKICPA has a rule prohibiting the advertising of fees? Surely that is an anti-competitive rule. This accountant is now in trouble for breaking it, for quoting a fee on his home page for incorporating a company, something that other service providers do all the time. Bizarrely, HKICPA draws a distinction between a homepage and other pages of a web site, claiming that the home page is "analagous to a newspaper advertisement" while other pages are not. All web pages require active requests, of course.
