On the request of some members who have expressed their concerns about the delay in issuing Practising Certificates and the potential impact on their validity, the Society of Chinese Accountants and Auditors (“SCAA”) has written to the Accounting and Financial Reporting Council (“AFRC”) on 10 January 2024.

Under section 20AAJ of the AFRCO, the current PC remains valid until the AFRC decides on the renewal application, with the validity of the PC expiring on 31 December 2023. If a renewal application has been submitted by the CPA (Practising) but the AFRC has not made a decision before the PC expires, the current PC will remain in force until the AFRC determines the renewal application.

The AFRC website provides access to the Register of Certified Public Accountants (Practising) for easy verification of the validity of a current CPA (Practising). Please click HERE for more information.
