For Financial Reporting
Whether they are national, provincial, territorial or local, elections in Canada are scrutinized closely to ensure transparency and integrity.
Certified General Accountants contribute to that process by providing an important public service based on expertise acquired through rigorous education and experience as well as ongoing professional development. CGAs are valuable members of any political campaign — especially as official agents and/or auditors, roles which demand expertise in finance, taxation and senior business leadership.
This CGA-Canada Elections E-Guide is a practical adjunct to the Canada Elections Act, a valuable tool for those who audit federal political campaigns, either for general elections or by-elections. It also will help candidates and official agents to understand the stringent accounting and financial reporting requirements of the Act.
It should be noted that this guide does not constitute an official position of CGA-Canada and is not intended as a substitute for legislation, regulations or related documents.
When used in concert with other available resources developed with the invaluable help of professionals, it will facilitate compliance with what has become an increasingly complex electoral environment.
