Professional accountants have a responsibility to adhere to the standards and principles of the accounting industry as a whole by employing the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in their work. Those licensed with one of Canada's top three professional associations in the accounting industry are also accountable to their organization.
These organizations provide support, ongoing education opportunities, training, scholarships and more. Learn the benefits of each program, the type of accounting opportunities offered and how to become an accountant with the CGA-Canada, CMA National, or CICA.
