Special Regulatory Vote

2024 Special Regulatory Vote: Amendment to the CPA Alberta Regulations

Special Regulatory Vote – Result

Please note that 82% of the votes cast were in favour of amending Section 26 of the Chartered Professional Accountants Regulation. This amendment extends the deadline for completing the regulation review to on or before June 30, 2030. Accordingly, CPA Alberta will revise the Regulation to reflect the new deadline.

This change in the deadline review is in anticipation of the forthcoming Professional Governance Act, which proposes to consolidate several professional regulatory bodies, including CPA Alberta, under a unified legislative framework.

Thank you for your dedication to the governance of our profession.
