About CGPA Canada

Updated: Oct 19

The Institute of Chartered Global Practising Accountants of Canada (CGPA Canada) stands proudly as one of Canada’s two principal chartered accountancy bodies, alongside CPA Canada and provincial/regional CPA bodies - empowering us to offer audit, review, compilation, and taxation services across the country. Since its establishment in 2016, CGPA Canada has been at the forefront of advancing Canadian and international accounting practices.


Recognized as a reliable authority in Canadian tax law and regulatory change, CGPA Canada is widely trusted by professionals and institutions for the latest updates in taxation, audit, and financial reporting.


CGPA Canada: A Global Footprint with National Roots


Headquartered in Canada with international chapters in Asia, Australasia, and Latin America, CGPA Canada is building global bridges through proposed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with key International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) member bodies. These MoUs aim to establish reciprocal membership arrangements, allowing members to practice across jurisdictions and enhancing their international career mobility.


This global vision enables CGPA members to access cross-border employment opportunities and apply their expertise in finance, taxation, and public accountancy on a broader scale. Dual recognition signifies deep competence and adds value to organizations seeking a competitive advantage in today's interconnected economy.
