Document background
The Engagement Letter For Accounting Services is a fundamental document used in Hong Kong to formalize the professional relationship between accounting service providers and their clients. It serves as the primary agreement that defines the scope of accounting services, professional obligations, and commercial terms while ensuring compliance with Hong Kong regulatory requirements and HKICPA professional standards. This document is essential when engaging accounting firms for services such as bookkeeping, tax preparation, financial reporting, or advisory services. It protects both parties by clearly outlining expectations, deliverables, fee structures, and liability limitations, while incorporating specific provisions required under Hong Kong law regarding data protection, professional conduct, and client confidentiality.
