Majority of accountants get pay rises this year, survey finds
Some 81 per cent of accounting and finance professionals enjoyed a pay rise this year while half received job offers in the past 12 months, a survey by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants Hong Kong and recruiter Michael Page International has found. This is a slight improvement on the previous year, when 80 per cent had pay rises and 46 per cent had job offers. Next year's pay increase is expected to be between 1 per cent and 5 per cent, according to 61 per cent of employers and 37 per cent of employees surveyed. The online survey covered 1,971 staff and 253 employers.
