Alumni Buzz December 2018

FCPA Designation: The Highest Honour a Profession Can Bestow 

The Fellow designation is the highest designation the CPA offers. The FCPA is granted to members who have rendered exceptional service to the profession or whose achievements in their careers, the community, or in the profession have earned them distinction and brought honour to the profession. The call for nominations for the CPA Ontario 2018 Fellows is now closed.

Successful candidates will be approved by CPA Ontario’s Council and be announced at the Carlu in Toronto on Tuesday, December 4. The new FCPAs will be mentioned on the CPA Ontario's website and also in our next e-newsletter.
