Nevertheless, many factors can impact their financial situation during this important stage of life: poor financial planning, fraud and financial abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some worrying data corroborate this: Knowledge of Canadian and Quebec retirement income systems is stagnating in the active population (36.6%)<sup>1<\/sup>, one out of every ten Canadian seniors is directly affected by fraud<sup>2<\/sup>, and cases of elder abuse are being reported much more frequently in Quebec<sup>3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A free online financial self-care kit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To help seniors, their loved ones and those preparing for retirement make better financial decisions, the Order has created an information kit that includes webinars on managing personal finances and preventing fraud, links to useful documents, a questionnaire that deepens their knowledge of financial health, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCPAs can play a decisive role in teaching Quebecers about money. At the Order, we are taking the lead on a number of issues affecting seniors&#8217; financial health, especially when it comes to preventing, detecting and reporting material and financial abuse. We created this kit because we are convinced that everyone, regardless of their age, can keep learning about and improving their finances,&#8221; says Genevi\u00e8ve Mottard, CPA, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"\/sitecore\/service\/notfound.aspx?item=web%3a%7bD6CA2822-1AFE-4914-8B1F-CD9DE1B10EC9%7d%40en\">Discover our information kit &gt;<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">About the Quebec CPA Order<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ordre des comptables professionnels agr\u00e9\u00e9s du Qu\u00e9bec has 41,000 members and 5,000 future CPAs, making it the third largest professional order in Quebec.
