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.

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.

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

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

CIMA Hong Kong Annual Review 2010

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

From 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.

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.

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.

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.

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