The Hong Kong Institute of CPAs organizes three insolvency training courses to assist in the professional development of those who are working in or intend to pursue a career in insolvency practice. The most comprehensive and intensive of these is the Professional Diploma in Insolvency programme (formerly known as the “Diploma in Insolvency”), the Institute's Specialist Qualification. In addition, there are the Preparatory I and Preparatory II courses which form an introduction leading to the Diploma programme.

Professional Diploma in Insolvency programme

The Professional Diploma in Insolvency programme consists of 56 contact hours, comprising Module A (28 hours) and
Module B (28 hours). It is not mandatory, however, participants are recommended to complete Module A before attempting
Module B.

Module A - Liquidation and Personal Insolvency

• Liquidation (18.5 hours)
• Personal Insolvency (including Individual Voluntary Arrangements) (9.5 hours)

Module B - Corporate Rescue & Restructuring and Cross-Border Insolvency

• Corporate Rescue & Restructuring (14 hours)
• Cross-Border Insolvency (14 hours)

The programme will provide participants with an in-depth and integrated study of the different aspects of insolvency administration, with particular emphasis on the practical issues relating to these areas and the primary principles that underpin them. All preparatory and contact hours will qualify as verifiable CPD hours.

Pathway to the Diploma programme:

The Official Receiver's Office (ORO) recognizes a pass in the Diploma programme as contributing to 50 hours of insolvency work under the ORO's various schemes for contracting out insolvency cases.

This programme has been accredited by the Law Society of Hong Kong. A maximum of 15 CPD points can be claimed per year, ie from 1 November to 31 October of the following year, from attending the programme.
