Accountants from Hong Kong and Macao can apply to be partners of accounting firms on the mainland from June 1, it was announced Friday.
The move aims to encourage accountants from the two special administrative regions to explore opportunities on the mainland, the Ministry of Finance said.
They should meet the legal requirements for mainland-registered accountants and regulations on partners in accounting firms, it stressed.
Accountants from Hong Kong and Macao must have a residence on the mainland and stay there for no less than six months every year, it added.
