The Certified General Accountants Association of Canada is a national self-regulating association of approximately 62,000 Certified General Accountants and students. CGAs work in Canada and elsewhere throughout the world; students are enrolled in the CGA Program of Professional Studies in Canada, Bermuda, the Caribbean, Hong Kong, and the People’s Republic of China.
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/regional associations and local chapters.
CGA-Canada sets national educational standards and professional standards and practices, provides services to affiliates and members, contributes to international accounting standard setting, and represents CGAs nationally and internationally. CGA-Canada works with its provincial/territorial/regional 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 an active participant in several international accounting bodies.
CGAs and CGA students are bound by a Code of Ethical Principles and Rules of Conduct and CGAs are required to complete mandatory professional development.
