Work-life Balance Survey of the Accounting Profession

Work-life balance seems to be a challenging issue in the competitive business environment in Hong Kong, and working hours are seen as an important factor by many.

To assess and evaluate overtime prevalence in the profession, the Institute’s Long Working Hours Steering Group would like to hear from you on your working conditions, the reasons for working overtime, as well as your thoughts on effective ways to manage the issue in the profession. The steering group will analyse the results and recommend any appropriate actions and measures based on the findings. Share your views with us by completing the survey below by 25 August.
