It’s the quality and not the size of the membership that counts.
Not a single person that I know is confused by the co-existence of 3 accounting bodies. Everyone knows CAs are qualified through the most stringent examinations and experience requirements.
The growing membership of overseas associations such as ACCA is never a threat to Canadian CAs. For over 50 years, ACCA has attempted to merge with The Institute of CAs in England and Wales but never succeeded.
ICAO Council never reveals budgets for their proposed “unified body” under various scenarios. It is not reasonable to assume that it has no idea what the projected membership fee should be. My CMA friend tells me that his CMA annual due is about one-third of what I pay in CA annual due. (I don’t know how much is CGAs’ annual due is). ICAO and CPA Councils should clearly and fairly tell everyone, including CMAs and CGAs

Simply put, this is about due process and thus a member vote must take place. I cannot support the adoption of a new designation whereby CGA's and CMA's can obtain the designation simply because they currently hold those respective designations. Each designation is obtained through a specified education program and where applicable, practical experience requisites. Therefore each designation targets a differing audience. Granting a universal designation to each of the three does nothing to differentiate the established brand of each and certainly undermines the decision of all CA's to pursue our designation in the first place. I took a terrific amount of work for each of us to get here and for the ICAO to simply grant a new designation on equal grounds is entirely unacceptable.

If members feel that the membership is being railroaded into accepting the ICAO's position, the ICAO should remove this doubt with a vote to establish that the majority agree with the process. All members should object to the ICAO trying first to market the change to our members and secondly indicating through issue of the Licence to Practise that this is process that has been readily accepted by the membership.

The ICAO has made a major blunder in advancing a cause that may be worthy. It is disheartening to see such disrespect shown to the professionals that created the very foundation of a strong public accounting body in the province.

By creating the CPA designation via grandfathering in members of the CGA's and CMA's together with CA's without the same tested skill set, this will fully dilute the percepted skill level of the CA brand and the public will associate CPA with much less qualified accountants, thus putting originally respected CA's into that mediocre class.

Once all the same schooling and examination processes have been complete by these other accounting designation members to bring them on par with what a CA has already completed, then, by all means, have them accepted as Chartered Accountants. Do not create a back door for non CA's to be grandfathered in and water down the well respected brand.

The proof is in the Pudding, CGA's are book-keepers, CMA's are controllers, and CA's are CEO's/CFO's. Why, in any case, would you want to associate such a touted brand with the other less respected and less trained brands of accountants.

Would Lexus ever produce a Kia Rio under the Lexus brand?...never!
