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.
