CPA Canada chief executive Pamela Steer did not provide further details on how the new individual model will operate
Canada’s national accounting organization plans to roll out a new membership model this fall that will allow accountants in Ontario and Quebec to continue their registration with CPA Canada once the two provinces split from the federation later this year.
The announcement was made to CPA members on the one-year anniversary of CPA Ontario and the Quebec CPA Order’s decision to break away from the national organization, formed more than a decade ago by a collaboration accord. Currently, CPA Canada’s members are the industry’s 13 provincial and territorial regulatory bodies – including CPA Ontario and the Quebec CPA Order. Individual accountants cannot register directly with CPA Canada. Rather, to be a member of CPA Canada, a CPA must be a member in good standing with a provincial regulatory body, CPA Ontario spokesperson Kathryn Hanley said an an e-mail.
Both provinces said a split would provide the organizations with more direct oversight of the profession. “CPA Canada is the international representation at international boards, committees and organizations such as the Global Accounting Alliance, and I don’t think that is going to change,” Ms. Steer told the membership. “We will continue to consult across Canada as we look to gather in as many opinions on different topics and as many thoughts as possible so that we can take Canada to the world.”
