    IT is time for public accounting firms in Singapore to rethink their hiring practices and take on more employees from backgrounds other than accounting, said Singapore Accountancy Commission (SAC) chairman Michael Lim on Wednesday.

    Mr Lim was the keynote speaker at the CPA Congress 2014, organised by professional accountancy body CPA Australia and attended by more than 300 accounting professionals.
