Quebec CPA Order and CPA Ontario separately announced plans to withdraw from CPA Canada, saying it would better allow them to protect the public, serve members and advance the profession
Before they pulled out of a national alliance this week, the groups representing accountants in Ontario and Quebec told Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada that they wanted more provincial control and board representation in the national body, the CPA Canada head says.
“Any attempt to characterize this decision as shocking or surprising is disingenuous,” she said in an interview with The Globe. “CPA Canada has misrepresented the timeline. … We have gone through multiple detailed proposals to try to talk about how do we change the way we work together and we’re just as disappointed as anybody else.”
“With that comes a unique mandate for us to solely protect the public,” she added. “CPA Canada’s mission is not to protect the public – it is to increase the influence of the profession. In the June 1 letter, the chairs of the Ontario and Quebec groups, Jean Desgagné and Mario Gariépy, said the four principal issues in the discussions included a “need for structural governance changes” in the organization and “direct oversight of the profession” by the provincial and territorial bodies, or “PTBs.”
The term sheet left open the number of board members that CPA Canada should have and how many directors each PTB group would elect.
