Does the person in charge of corporate finance have to have an accounting qualification certificate?

The person in charge of finance does not necessarily need an accounting certificate.

According to Article 38 of the newly revised Accounting Law of People's Republic of China (PRC): "Accountants should have the professional ability needed to engage in accounting work." As the person in charge of an accounting institution (accountant in charge), one should have the professional and technical post qualification of accountant or above or have been engaged in accounting work for more than three years.
