To become a CA, students must complete rigorous course work, pass the UFE, and work for 30 months in a CA firm. The national UFE ensures all Canadian CAs meet the same high standards, which are recognized nationally and internationally.
“We congratulate these newest members of our profession. They are amongst the 1,136 successful students from Western Canada who prepared for the UFE through the CA School of Business,” said John Gunn, FCA, CEO of CASB. “In passing the UFE, they have demonstrated the technical skills and professional qualities expected of new CAs.”
The CA School of Business (CASB) develops and delivers a competency-based learning program for university graduates seeking to become chartered accountants (CAs) in Western Canada. Acting on behalf of, and in collaboration with, the four provincial CA institutes in Western Canada, CASB ensures that its graduates possess the superior financial expertise, business insight, strategic planning, and leadership required to become business-ready CAs.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of British Columbia is the training, governing and regulatory body of B.C.'s 10,000 members and just over 1,500 CA students. The Institute carries out its primary mission to protect the public by enforcing the most demanding admission criteria and the highest professional and ethical standards. Thanks to the quality and rigour of their education and training, CAs are recognized internationally for bringing superior financial expertise, strategic thinking, business insight and leadership to organizations.
