Disciplinary Decisions
Disciplinary decisions fall into two categories:
1) Suspension or a cancellation of registration, or a restriction on practice;
2) all other types of findings of unprofessional conduct.
The Regulated Accounting Profession Act states that when a discipline or appeal tribunal suspends or cancels the registration or restricts the practice of an investigated party, they must publish a summary of the decision in accordance with CGA Alberta bylaws (category 1). It continues to state that where other decisions are made by a discipline or appeal tribunal, the secretary must publish a summary as directed by the discipline tribunal(category 2).
At the 2007 AGM, Maintaining and Publishing Information Bylaws were amended (Bylaw 11001 and Bylaw 11002). Any cases that began after October, 2007 will be published in accordance with these amended bylaws.
Cancellations will be placed on the website for a period of 10 years.
Suspensions or restriction on practice will be placed on the website for a minimum period of one year or for a longer period of time that the suspension or restriction on practice is in effect.
Bylaw 11002 relates to all other types of findings of unprofessional conduct, not dealt with in 11001.
All decisions on sanctions, excluding suspensions, cancellation, or restriction on practice will be placed on the website for a period of one year, or such other period as ordered by the discipline or appeal tribunal.
