CPA Canada recently announced it is offering a voluntary subscription to CPA Ontario and CPA Quebec members so they can continue to be part of CPA Canada after their provincial bodies withdraw from the national Collaboration Accord in December 2024.
Alberta members’ CPA Canada dues are paid up until March 31, 2025. Between now and then, we encourage CPA Canada to create equitable pathways to participation for all Canadian CPAs.
Meanwhile, discussions are ongoing for all provinces and CPA Canada on how to continue to work together on matters of common interest to the profession, such as standards setting. There is important national work that needs to be done and paid for regardless of the collaboration framework.
New arrangements may look different than in the past, but the future of CPA as a national profession is not at risk. Nor do these ongoing national discussions impact CPA Alberta’s ability to support its members, meet its legislated regulatory responsibilities and fulfill its day-to-day operations, and the ability of Alberta CPAs to perform their professional duties.
