Woman vice-president lobbies hard to lead accountants' institute

Excitement is growing about the prospect of a woman heading the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Its presidential election will be held in mid-December and lobbying usually begins in November. But accountants said this year the two front runners have started their lobbying months earlier for the top seat on the industry body.

Susanna Chiu, director of Li & Fung Development (China) and now a vice-president of the institute, tried to break the glass ceiling last year and contested the president's seat.
