In today’s complex business environment, getting the right advice can mean the difference between success and failure.
When you engage a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), you know you’ve engaged the most highly qualified professional accountant and business advisor available in the market place. The CPA designation is the standard for accounting excellence – the one business owners and individuals look for first. No other accounting credential carries the same weight. You can rest assured you will be in good hands with respect to all financial matters when a Chartered Professional Accountant is involved.
Chartered Professional Accountants are leaders in business – respected professionals who are essential to the success of Canada’s foremost organizations.
In Canada, Chartered Professional Accountants legislate or create the national accounting and assurance standards (laws) to which all accountants must adhere. Given the prestige and rigour required to become a Chartered Professional Accountant, the designation is internationally renowned with reciprocity to many countries throughout the world.
A Chartered Professional Accountant is backed by a stringent Code of Conduct and Ethics, which includes disciplinary actions, that guides all members in their professional decisions. Chartered Professional Accountants are accountable to their clients and to the CPA profession, and their professional conduct is held to the highest standards by the provincial and national governing bodies – CPA Ontario and CPA Canada.
To maintain the highest level of quality, all CPA firms in Ontario are reviewed at least once every three years by CPA Ontario to ensure they are performing their work appropriately and in accordance with the applicable regulations and laws.
Every year, all Chartered Professional Accountants are required to complete a minimum number of professional development courses to ensure they are keeping abreast of the changes in the area of their practices.
