The Government is considering amending the law to force Hong Kong companies to disclose how much they pay their auditors.
The move is among central proposals under consideration as part of a comprehensive overhaul of the financial reporting disclosure requirements in the Companies Ordinance.
Companies registrar Gordon Jones said: 'We want to replace the existing accounts disclosure requirement with a new reporting framework which will meet the needs of the modern world and match international practices.
'We also want to add more corporate governance-related measures into the Companies Ordinance.'
The role of auditors has come under scrutiny since the bankruptcy of United States energy firm Enron.
Many accountancy firms also provide consultancy services to the companies they audit, which critics say compromises their independence as auditors.
