The real estate industry in Hong Kong has been a key driver of the local economy for over three decades. For many organisations, real estate and physical infrastructure are major components of operational costs and typically involve significant investments which dominate the balance sheet. This means real estate decisions can often have a very significant and long lasting impact on shareholder value.

- Changes in accounting rules and practices
A new wave of accounting changes will need to be applied by IFRS/HKFRS reporters within the next three years. Not all of these changes will be significant to the real estate industry, but many will require careful consideration and well prepared implementation. It will be important for businesses to have a clear understanding of how upcoming accounting changes will impact not only on financial reporting processes and controls, but on the short to medium-term strategic plans for the business, its commercial activities, its operational structures, employee training and development, and existing IT systems and processes. PwC has the leading industry expert who will share their insights and experiences to help your business prepare for the changes.
