Between October 4th and October 18th, ICANS members were invited to cast their electronic vote on whether or not they supported the proposed provincial merger of the CA and CMA bodies in Nova Scotia, as outlined in the Nova Scotia Merger Proposal.

The leadership of Nova Scotia’s Chartered Accountants and Certified Management Accountants have developed this unification proposal.

Changes approved at June 18, 2012 Annual Meeting - effective immediately.

On January 17, 2012, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA), the Certified Management Accountants of Canada (CMA Canada) and the Certified General Accountants of Canada (CGA-Canada) presented members with a framework to unify the Canadian accounting profession.

Developing the Canadian CPA certification program will be an immediate priority of the merged organization. By drawing on the best of existing programs, we will create the certification program needed to produce Canada’s pre-eminent professional accountants.
