Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada (CPA)

CPA Canada is the national organization established to support a unified Canadian accounting profession.

The MRA between ACCA and CPA was terminated on April 30, 2021. At this current time, a new MRA has not been reached. We remain committed to working with CPA Canada to negotiate a way forward.
