Passion, Professions and the CFE

Bill Lin
I have always had a creative streak in my life. I love sewing, music, the arts— and I even used to be a piano teacher. However, I also love accounting and finance. If I’m being honest, taking the Common Final Examination (CFE) and making it onto the honour roll does mean a lot to me, but it hasn’t changed my mind at all with what I want to do in my professional career.

Being the Best I Can Be

Daniel Mahne
My aspiration in life is, and always has been, to be the best practitioner I can. With the experiences I’ve gained from the School of Accounting and Finance (SAF) and making the Honour Roll for the Common Final Examination (CFE), I feel like I’m well on my way.

It’s no secret that the School of Accounting and Finance (SAF) is one of the best of its kind in the country. The Accounting and Financial Management program (AFM) and the Master’s of Accounting programs offer so many courses in accounting, tax, financial management, and more.

The Endless Possibilities

Every university student’s most dreaded question is probably: What do you plan to do after you get your degree? Some of you may already know, which is great! But if you’re like me and still have no idea, that’s fine too! Even after being named to the Common Final Examination (CFE) Honour Roll, I am still not 100% sure what my professional career is going to look like.

I always try to give 110% in everything I do and push myself to complete the best work I am capable of. This approach was no different when preparing for the Common Final Examination (CFE). While I gave 110% when studying for the CFE, I never thought I would make the honour roll. Much to my surprise though, I actually did! Though I probably wouldn’t have been able to do it without the School of Accounting and Finance (SAF).

Samantha Kan on the CFE and SAF

Samantha Kan
In September 2019, over 6,000 candidates passed the Common Final Examination (CFE), moving them towards their profession as a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA). The CFE Honour Roll consists of the top one per cent of successful CFE writers. Out of the 28 Ontario Honour Roll members, 15 of them were School of Accounting and Finance (SAF) graduates.
