ACCAs Fast Track to CGA
In December 2006, CGA Canada and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants announced a mutual recognition agreement allowing members of each organization to join the other accounting body thus becoming dual designated. In today's global market place, this combination has enormous potential for individual accountants as well as organizations doing business globally. This MRA strengthens the already excellent relationship between the two bodies. It provides a route for qualified members of either organisation to become a member of the other, and to enjoy the benefits which both organisations can offer.
