This month, we hear from Hamilton Cheng FCCA, executive director at Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group in Hong Kong, on how the company is continuing its digital transformation and what it means for the customer experience. Cheng explains the value accounting professionals bring in adopting new technologies.
We look at the growth in wealth management services in Asia, with a focus on how Hong Kong is broadening its appeal to high-net-worth families through tax breaks. And we consider the competition from Singapore, where the city-state has seen a rise in the number of family offices. (LINK TBC)
Columnist Chris Davis explains how Hong Kong’s renamed Accounting and Financial Reporting Council will reinforce the regulatory regime of the accounting profession. And we learn more from an ACCA report on why accountants are the most trusted professionals for tax advice – valued above lawyers, politicians and tax authorities.
In our careers section, business psychologist Jess Baker looks at how employees can regain their motivation and re-engage with their work. And we find out how the intensity of a smile can make or break a deal.
We also start a new series that uses graphics to help illustrate some of the key trends in technology. This month, we look at tech stocks, their performance as an asset class, the key players and the role of the Big Four in the sector.
