The Honourable Paul Chan, Stephen, Mrs Josephine Ossiya, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, good morning.

My sincere thanks go to the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) and the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) for convening this meaningful conference, and for your enduring commitment to professional excellence, market integrity and international collaboration.
