CPA Saskatchewan provides leadership and support

CPA Saskatchewan congratulates its 142 candidates who successfully completed the Common Final Examination (CFE) from September 2019 and who are on their way to becoming CPAS. They have developed and demonstrated technical and professional skills they will take with them into the next stage of their careers. The demonstration of these skills earned two CPA Saskatchewan candidates recognition on the CPA Canada National Honour Roll.

The CPA designation is Canada’s pre-eminent accounting and business designation. With more than 5,000 members in Saskatchewan, and over 217,000 members across Canada and abroad, CPAS provide crucial financial expertise to businesses in every sector of the economy.
