Mutual Recognition Agreements

CGA Ontario, through CGA Canada, has mutual recognition agreements with the following international accounting associations. This means that CGA and these accounting associations recognize the qualifications of each other’s members::

  • Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)
  • CPA Australia
  • CPA Ireland
  • Ordre des Expert-Comptables de Frances

If you are a member in good standing of any of these international accounting associations, you may need only to complete a course in Canadian tax and law to be eligible for membership with CGA Ontario. CGA Canada's online course Overview of Canadian Income Taxation and Law is designed especially to provide you with essential knowledge about Canadian taxation and business law.

Please note that in Ontario you are not permitted to practice public accounting until you are granted a special licence to do so by CGA Ontario or another accounting regulatory body in Ontario.
