About the conference and session details
 
 
Two years into the Covid-19 pandemic, the world has been overcoming various hardship and adopting a new normal under pandemic disruptions. Looking ahead, given the recovery’s uncharted nature, a cloud of uncertainty over the city remains. Facing the prolonged pandemic together with its associated fiscal policy responses, accelerated international tensions, emerging awareness of sustainability and paradigm shift of work culture in the post-pandemic era, how should Hong Kong businesses mitigate uncertainty and harness own business strengths? As one of important partners in businesses, accounting and finance professionals are also facing various new rules and policy updates governed by international and local regulatory bodies. What are the key developments in 2022 and how would the changes impact the Hong Kong businesses?
