Two Vernon chartered accountant students graduated from the Chartered Accountant School of Business program at a recent ceremony in Vancouver.
Jane Long is with Meyers Norris Penny and Danny Robert is with KPMG.
Students recognized at the convocation ceremony are eligible for membership in the Institute of Chartered Accountants of B.C. this year.
“The CA designation is earned through the completion of a detailed and exacting educational program, designed to ensure high levels of business and accounting competencies,” said Richard Rees, chief executive officer of the Chartered Accountants of B.C.
“I congratulate each and every one of our new graduates. They should take great pride in this impressive achievement.”
To qualify as a CA, students must have a university degree or equivalent, 30 months of practical work experience in a chartered accountancy firm, and complete courses through the CA qualification program.
CAs must also pass a comprehensive rigorous national final exam to earn their designation.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of B.C. is the training, governing and regulatory body of B.C.’s 10,000 members and just over 1,500 CA students.
The institute carries out its primary mission to protect the public by enforcing the most demanding admission criteria and the highest professional and ethical standards.
