The document proposed the unification of the separate organizations into one new designation: Canadian Chartered Professional Accountant-CPA.

[16] Today all recognized provincial and national Canadian accounting organizations are unified under the CPA designation.

The program has succeeded in increasing graduation rates, motivated students to stay in school beyond the secondary level, and helped them find jobs, especially in the legal and accounting industries.

CPA Canada contributes its expertise on many issues relating to tax and fiscal policy, financial literacy, skills development, climate adaptation, immigration, trade, ethics, good governance and accountability.

Goals include the strengthening of financial literacy and supporting infrastructure projects that stimulate productivity.

[23] The organization offers guidance on accounting and business issues to its members and others through its publications, webinars, videos, blogs and other types of media.

The program is made up of education, a period of time in which candidates must meet relevant experience requirements, and at the end of the process they must take and pass the Common Final Examination.

The role is succeeded by Charles-Antoine St-Jean, FCPA, FCA, as President and CEO, effective July 20, 2020.
