CPA Canada says it’s reached agreements with its Ontario and Quebec counterparts on education, exams and standard-setting for the accounting profession.
CPA Ontario and the Quebec CPA Order will officially split from the national organization on Dec. 20, the end of an 18-month withdrawal period.
News of the split, first announced in June 2023, raised questions about the future role of the national organization for CPAs in Quebec and Ontario.
