Students should visit the Institute's website ( www.hkicpa.org.hk ) for the latest
announcement.

For workshops held in China:

If weather conditions are doubtful (such as the possible hoisting of a Tropical Cyclone
Warning Signal or other possible bad weather warnings), students should visit the
Institute's website ( www.hkicpa.org.hk ) for the latest announcement before leaving for
attending the workshop.

The following will be implemented for students affected by bad weather:

1. For students who can only attend one of the two workshop classes due to bad
weather, students' workshop results will be based on their performance in the
workshop class which they have attended/ will attend.

Students who have not failed more than 4 development indicators in that
workshop class will pass the workshop component and they will be eligible to sit
the relevant module examination. For those who wish to attend the cancelled
workshop class, the Institute may arrange for them to attend the full workshop
classes in the next session without additional charge. For those who wish to
defer the relevant module examination to the next session, the Institute will
arrange for them to sit that examination without additional charge.

2. A set of Comprehensive Student Notes covering topics in relation to the cancelled
workshop of the respective modules will be available in the QP Learning Centre 2
weeks after the cancelled workshop. The Institute will also provide an email
support service to address queries they may have on the topics.

(If both workshops are cancelled due to bad weather, the institute may consider to
arrange the make-up workshops subject to the availability of resources.)
