nal president's message A message from

your president

Following on from the Hong Kong market

review carried out in 2009, additional

resources have been provided to promote

the science of management accounting in

Hong Kong. The promotion has resulted in

strong growth for CIMA in Hong Kong on

all fronts; seeing positive increase in our

new student recruitment as well as overall

growth in our student and membership

population. The strategies set in 2009 are

achieving encouraging results and we will

continue to put further efforts in rolling

them out in the forthcoming year to ride

on their success.

In the past, management accountancy

was seen more as a male-orientated

profession, perhaps ensuing from our

historical costing and manufacturing

origin. This perhaps, to a certain extent,

was reflected in our membership structure

with approximately 40% of our members

being female and a relatively lesser

representation of women than men

occupying senior business positions. This

issue was highlighted in one of CIMA

thought leadership pieces 'Breaking glass

- Strategies for tomorrow's leaders' during

the year. From Hong Kong, I would like to

take this opportunity to particularly thank

four of our members who took part in this

report; they are Theresa Chan (Corporate

Finance Director of Warner Bros), Amy

Lam (Group Finance Director of Jardine

Shipping Services), Irelan Tam (Regional

Finance Director of Johnson & Johnson

Hong Kong) and Jenny To (Managing

Director of Pernod Ricard). They are

amongst some of our many eminent

female CIMA business leaders who have

successfully overcome ongoing barriers in

their career development and reached the

top in Asia at the end. In the coming years,

I have no doubt there will be many more

successful stories of our lady members

that we can share with you.

As the Hong Kong economy becomes

more interlinked with the mainland,

we see more and more members and

students working and travelling between

the two places. This provides many

challenges as well as opportunities to us.

To prepare ourselves to cope with those

demands, CIMA is transforming into a

more regional organisation to take on

those challenges and opportunities. With

the directive from the CIMA Council, the

global governance structure will move

towards the formation of regional boards

to provide the necessary speed, autonomy

and empowerment essential for meeting

the council's objectives. Closer to us, we

will see the formation of three boards

namely the Australasia Regional Board, the

South East Asia Regional Board and the

North Asia Regional Board later this year.

The final details have yet to be confirmed

and all our members will be kept informed

of the latest development over time.

It has been my honour to be the

divisional president of the CIMA Hong

Kong division this year. I would like to

take this opportunity to thank all my

divisional council members and the

various committees for voluntarily and

whole-heartedly helping to promote

and grow the division together. Not only

have they devoted their valuable time to

CIMA, everyone has also given more than

their best efforts in being the honourable

ambassadors in this region to promote

management accountancy and financial

management for the institute. Last but not

least, I would like to express my deepest

gratitude to Leo Cheung, our immediate

past divisional president, for his valuable

service to the division as he will be retiring

from the divisional council after the AGM

in 2011. Thank you all.

Paul Chan FCMA

Divisional President, Hong Kong


03 Divisio

nal director’s statem

entFrom the divisional director

In the past two years we have

be concentrating our efforts on

communicating the CIMA differentiation,

to enable the public, employers, tertiary

students and potential students

to understand what management

accountancy is and how our members

differ from other accountants. This

message has received good feedback

especially from two groups; financial

accountants wanting to expand their

career horizons into other roles, and

aspiring senior managers who would like

to be more financially literate in-order to

excel their career.

To facilitate these groups of prospective

students, in 2010 we introduce a special

gateway assessment designed to assess

MBA graduates and members of other

accounting bodies for direct entrance into

the strategic level papers. The assessment

looks at different areas taken from the

operational and managerial level and

serves as a safeguard to ensure that the

students will be able to pass the final

papers. We are grateful to Hong Kong

University SPACE, our partners who

have designed a preparatory course for

these students to aid their studies. In the

coming years we will expect to see more

students joining CIMA via these routes.

On a personal front this year been a

very rewarding experience. I have been

able to see how CIMA is able to help

people’s careers not only upwards but

also sideways. Members and students are

moving into roles where the skill set learnt

in the CIMA training equips them with the

knowledge they need. CIMA is regarded

as one of the most relevant to business

qualifications as we update the syllabus

every four years with feedback from over

2,000 employers. This reflects how our

qualification trains people to go beyond

accountancy and we now truly occupy the

space where business and finance meet.

Hong Kong has continued to shine within

CIMA. Our student Amit Chhabra from

Johnson Electric scored the highest mark

globally in the gateway assessment. Alan

Wong from Jardine Matheson came third

globally in the performance strategy

paper and Richard Bellingham came

sixth globally in the financial operations

paper. In general the passing marks for

the operational and managerial papers

in Hong Kong have been higher than

the global average for the second year

running. This has been achieved by not

only attracting students that are capable

but also the additional student support

resources that have been invested in

the past few years. In the CIMA Global

Business Challenge where over 2,000

groups of international university students

compete in a business case study, the

Hong Kong team won the accolade for the

second year running, demonstrating again

that the territory is producing some of the

finest financial leaders in the world.

Lastly, I would also like to thank the

divisional council for their direction and

my devoted team in Hong Kong for

all their enthusiasm and hard work in

delivering the excellent services to all our

stakeholders.

Damian Yip

Divisional Director, Hong Kong

Independent auditor's report to the members of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (Hong Kong division)

ANDREW MA DFK (CPA) LIMITED

Certified Public Accountants

YAU WAI HING, STEPHEN

Practising Certificate No. P03392

Hong Kong, 28 February 2011

We have audited the financial statements of the Division set

out on pages 17 to 18, which comprise the balance sheet as at

December 31, 2010, and the income and expenditure account,

statement of changes in head office funds and statement of

cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant

accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Divisional council's responsibility for the financial

statements The Institute's constitution and by-laws require the

Divisional Council to prepare financial statements that give a true

and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting

Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public

Accountants, and for such internal control as the Divisional Council

determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial

statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due

to fraud or error.

Auditors' responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial

statements based on our audit and to report our opinion solely

to you, as a body, in accordance with the Institute's constitution

and by-laws, and for no other purpose. We do not assume

responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for

the contents of this report.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong

Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of

Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we

comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the

audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial

statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence

about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment,

including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement

of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In

making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal

control relevant to the Division's preparation of financial

statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not

for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of

the Division's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating

the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the

reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Divisional

Council, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the

financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient

and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view

of the state of the Division's affairs as at December 31, 2010,

and of its surplus and cash flows for the year then ended in

accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards.
