Regulatory Standard Edition: August 2022 | Published: July 14, 2022

Members are reminded that section 7.2 of the CPA Ontario Bylaw requires members to practice or hold themselves out as a CPA only in their legal or preferred name as set out in the CPA Ontario register.

You may review your legal or preferred names under “Member Profile” on MyPortal. If you need to change your legal name you can submit a request and provide supporting documentation through a service request in MyPortal.
