The ICAAE Ordinance

The ICAAE Ordinance came into effect on 1 October 2007 through legislative amendment of the ICAAE Ordinance

Under the ICAAE Ordinance, the functions and powers of the new Council are expanded such that the ICAAE can fulfil its statutory role as the Accreditation Authority and QR Authority under the QF. The ICAAE is also given greater latitude in other aspects of its functions and powers, such as the provision of its service outside Hong Kong, the release of the reports of its accreditation activities and greater autonomy over the management of its internal affairs.

For a full description of the functions and powers of the ICAAE under the Ordinance, please refer to the website of Bilingual Laws Information System, Department of Justice.
