Public service appointmentPatrick LT Wong (�� ) has been re-appointed as a standing member of the Land Registry Customer Liaison Group for two years witheffect from 6 October 2004.Yeung Kwok Kay, Anthony (�� ) has been appointed as Justice of the Peace with effect from 1 July 2004.

After the passage of the ProfessionalAccountants (Amendment) Ordinance2004 (‘Amendment Ordinance’) on9 July which subsequently became effec-tive on 8 September 2004, the Councilhas, at its recent meetings, formulatedthe following rulings on member prac-tices which have come into immediateeffect:

Change of practice nameMember practices may now choose touse the description ‘Certified Public Ac-countants’ or ‘Certified Public Accoun-tants (Practising)’. As such, thosemember practices which have alreadyincluded the words ‘Certified PublicAccountants’ as part of their practicename and wish to add the word‘(Practising)’ thereafter may do so bycompleting and filing a Form RF-3/RCP-3B, as the case may be, for the purpose.No filing fee will be levied for the mere

addition of the word ‘(Practising)’ in thepractice name. Otherwise, the currentfiling fee of $800 will apply. Subsequentrequests to delete the word ‘(Practising)’will follow the normal process and therelevant filing fee will be levied.

Partnership composition of afirmAs specified in section 28A(5) of theAmendment Ordinance, the Institute’sCouncil has the power to prescribefrom time to time the proportion ofpractising members to non-practisingmembers within a partnership firm.

Council is of a view that a memberpractice should be under the controlof practising certificate holders. In thisconnection, Council has ruled that thenon-resident partner and non-CPApartner categories should be combinedinto a category of non-PC holderpartners. The ratio of practising

New Council Rulingspartners to non-PC holder partnersshould be revised from the present 1:1to 2:1. The revised ratio is in line withthat of a corporate practice.

Qualifying requirements fornon-PC holder partners anddirectorsAfter combining the non-resident part-ner and non-CPA partner categoriesinto a non-PC holder category, Coun-cil has ruled that the respectivequalifying requirements should bestandardised. A non-PC holder partnershould be a current member of the In-stitute but other qualifying conditionspreviously prescribed for a non-CPApartner will now not be required. Non-PC holder partners are not eligible tosign audit reports for the firm. Thesame changes also apply to the non-practising member director of a corpo-rate practice.

This is to synchronise the CPDdeclaration exercise with the annual subscription timeline. Pleasenote that the requirements in the newly revised Statement 1.500are applicable to members’ compliance with the CPD requirementsfor the reporting periods beginning on or after 1 December 2003.Therefore, the first reporting period under this revised Statementshould be from 1 December 2003 to 30 November 2004.
