Become a Chartered Accountant
Chartered Accountants are the professionals Canada’s business leaders trust to help make the financial, strategic and leadership decisions that matter. The CA profession’s commitment to excellence and the public interest provides the crucial foundation for this trust. In fact, Canadian CAs are recognized around the world for their high professional standards and expertise. Good character is a requirement for admission to membership in the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario. "Good character includes, but is not limited to, integrity, candour, honesty, trustworthiness, moral and ethical standards, and such other qualities or combination of qualities as will promote the practice of Chartered Accountancy in the public interest, in accordance with the Chartered Accountants Act, 2010 and the objects of the Institute."
CAs working in public practice are involved in a wide range of complex disciplines — from finance and taxation, to assurance, performance measurement and information technology, just to name a few. However, some two-thirds of Ontario’s 35,000 CAs now practise outside public accounting in diverse businesses (as CEOs, CFOs, VPs of Finance, etc.), in government, academe or the not-for-profit sector.
