Certified General Accountants (CGAs) are members of the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada (CGA-Canada), which was created by an Act of Parliament on June 6, 1913. Having 39,000 certified members and 23,000 students in 2004, CGA-Canada is the second largest professional accounting association in Canada. Canada’s CGAs are represented by CGA-Canada and by their local CGA association.

In order to become a CGA, one must successfully complete the CGA professional studies program, which consists of 14 foundation and advanced courses, four professional admission certification examination (PACE) courses and two business cases. A candidate must also hold a post-secondary bachelor degree and satisfy practical experience requirements before certification.

The CGA program of professional studies is currently being offered in Canada, in Bermuda, in several Caribbean countries, and in a number of universities throughout China and Hong Kong. CGA has over 1,700 international members.

CGAs are employed by businesses of all sizes and from all sectors. A number of them are partners in public practice firms; others work in government, industry, commerce, or non-profit sector. As of 2004, CGAs are authorized by provincial legislations to perform audits in every province and territory in Canada, except Quebec and Prince Edward Island.
