Accounting profession grows marginally in 2013

Macau had 113 auditors, 172 accountants and 13 auditing firms registered by the Committee for the Registry of Auditors and Accountants at the end of last year, official data show.

The year before the city had 110 auditors and 169 accountants, and the same number of auditing firms.

Despite the economic boom, the committee has recorded only fractional increases in registrations since 2007, when there were 114 auditors, 140 accountants and 10 auditing firms.

The volume of business they deal with is much higher, but people in the accounting profession say there are not enough accountants or auditors to meet demand.
