The Certified General Accountants Association of Canada represents 62,000 CGAs and students in Canada, Bermuda, the Caribbean, Hong Kong, and China. The Association sets standards, develops and maintains education programs, publishes professional materials, advocates on public policy issues, and represents CGAs nationally and internationally.
CGA is the fastest-growing accounting designation in Canada. With a focus on integrity and ethics, and one of the highest membership admission requirements in the profession, CGAs have become the country's accounting and business leaders, providing strategic counsel, financial leadership, and overall direction to all sectors of the Canadian economy.
CGAs are professional accountants working in industry, commerce, finance, government, and public practice. They are represented nationally through CGA-Canada and regionally through their provincial/territorial associations — CGA Affiliates — and local chapters. The Association works with Affiliates to deliver the CGA Program of Professional Studies.
CGA-Canada promotes co-operative professional relationships with other accounting associations, both nationally and internationally, and is a full partner in several international accounting bodies. CGA-Canada also promotes professionalism through a Code of Ethical Principles and Rules of Conduct and mandatory continuing professional development for members.
