Mr. Andrew Ratcliffe, President of ICAEW, stated that the accountancy profession has been the cornerstone of a nation's sustainable economic development and the key to ensure integrity and transparency in business management. The prerequisite to enhance the development of accountancy profession in a country is to strengthen its professional organizations. In order to keep abreast of technological progress and meet market demands, the accountancy profession must ensure its professional skills match the demands of the current digital era and are able to make continuous innovations. However, it is not enough to master technical knowledge only. Consumers, companies and governments look forward to a more proactive accountancy profession to establish better cooperative relations under which their environment and needs will be recognized and understood. Therefore, the accountancy profession should comply with a set of unified code of ethics, define its responsibilities and obligations, and satisfy its clients with high quality services.
