Progress Update
As the regulator of Ontario’s more than 89,000 CPAs, our primary mission is to protect the public interest. To fulfil that mission, we not only uphold high standards as a regulator, we also work to attract and develop outstanding new candidates to the designation, and deliver services and supports that help our members advance their careers.
This report summarizes our progress over the past year on four strategic priorities that are vital to the strength of our profession and to the health of our organization.
Explore the progress we’ve made this year across all areas of our organization and see how that progress has helped advance our four strategic objectives.
