The profession at a glance
As key players in economic and social development, Quebec’s 42,000 CPAs are supervised by a professional order, the Quebec CPA Order, whose primary mission is to protect the public. As Quebec’s one and only accounting credential, the CPA designation is globally recognized and synonymous with quality and reliability.

Protection of the public
CPAs are subject to a code of ethics that governs the practice of their profession and imposes general and specific obligations towards the public, clients and the profession. One of these is to discharge their professional obligations with integrity.
