Farooq Ahmed CPA, CA
Edmonton
What do you see impacting the CPA profession, and how can CPA Alberta best respond?
One of the biggest challenges that I see ahead is CPA Ontario and Quebec moving out of CPA Canada. The smaller provinces, in my view, need to get together and even merge together, if necessary, to face the challenge.
How do your skills and background position you to positively contribute to the CPA Alberta Board and lead the governance of the profession?
Having worked internationally in public accounting, investment banking, and commercial banking before making Canada home and with now 20 years in the Canadian market, I see myself in a position to bring new ideas and a different perspective to the CPA Alberta Board because of my diverse experience and background.
