ACCA welcomes the opportunity to respond to the call for evidence from the Committee in relation to the links between China and the UK economy. From public, private, and diverse sectors to micro business and large firms, ACCA’s UK members and students work in a wide range of accountancy and finance roles around the world. Through our global network, we actively engage with business leaders to address critical challenges facing finance professionals, including advancing sustainability and green finance standards and skills, as well as digital transformation in accounting.

We have focused our submission to the Committee on sections 1 (engagement with China) and 4 (the service sector) and hope these comments are useful in outlining the nature of our engagement with China and the benefits that we believe flow from our work.
