Hong Kong is a global financial hub where companies must comply with both local regulations and international standards. Internal auditors are needed to strengthen governance, manage cross-border risks, and adapt to evolving requirements in areas such as ESG reporting and digital finance.

Many professionals hold CPA (HKICPA), CIA, or ACCA designations. Experience with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (HKFRS), IFRS, and regulatory bodies such as the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) is highly valued.

Financial services remain the biggest driver, including banking, insurance, and asset management. There is also strong demand in real estate, professional services, and multinational corporations with Asia-Pacific headquarters in Hong Kong.

They help companies strengthen internal controls, improve efficiency, and provide insights that support strategic decision-making. In Hong Kong’s fast-moving market, internal auditors also play a role in managing reputational risks and supporting international expansion.

We combine local expertise with global reach, giving access to talent pools across Hong Kong and international markets. Our consultants understand both the technical requirements and cultural considerations, connecting businesses with auditors who deliver long-term value.
