Recruitment Examination : Candidates are required to pass a written examination to be held tentatively on 11 October 2020 in Hong Kong before they will be further considered for selection interviews. The written examination is an English essay-type writing paper which aims at assessing candidates’ proficiency in written communication and organisation abilities.

As it takes time to process all applications, an invitation to the written examination does not imply that the candidate’s qualifications meet the entry requirements of the post of Accounting Officer II. In the light of the evolving situation with COVID-19, the Treasury may defer the written examination if the situation warrants. If the written examination is deferred, announcement will be made on the website of the Treasury.
