CGA-Canada Mutual Recognition Agreement
ACCA global agreement with CGA-Canada: online course now available for ACCA members
ACCA recently signed a global mutual recognition agreement (MRA) with the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada (CGA-Canada).This MRA strengthens the already excellent relationship between the two bodies. It provides a route for qualified members of either body to become a member of the other body, and to enjoy the benefits which both organisations can offer, which include increased international recognition and improved professional mobility.
Central to the agreement is the requirement that, in order to gain membership of each body, members of both bodies must successfully complete an overview course in Canadian/UK tax and law, approved by both ACCA and CGA-Canada. The CGA-Canada course is now availalbe online, thereby allowing ACCA members to commence the application process to become members of CGA-Canada.
Please note that:
- members of both bodies who apply under the terms of this agreement will be required to maintain membership of their original desigation
- the MRA does not convey practice rights; members of both bodies wishing to obtain a practising certificate for general public practice or audit work from either ACCA or CGA-Canada will have to meet the additional requirements specified by each body.
