MBIG Activities |
The MBIG Organising Committee has since its formation organised a number of seminars and study missions on areas where Institute members may have encountered difficulties when doing business, research or working in/with the Mainland. These MBIG events deal with specific operational issues; carry an in-depth coverage of the issues discussed; and cater for members engaged in specific industry. MBIG members will be invited to join the events and informed of any other relevant Mainland information via the MBIG circulars sent through email. |
China Desk
The MBIG Organising Committee is overseeing a China Desk service to provide free advisory services and information to Institute member on Mainland related issues.
A MBIG discussion forum has been created in the Members Only section on the Institute's web at: www.hkicpa.org.hk since August 2001. The objective of this project is to provide a channel for the Institute members exchanging information and experiences related to doing business in the Mainland. Members are welcome to login to the Members Only section for access to the MBIG discussion forum.
