Helpful notes:
*When downloading files, please ensure that you are using a recent version of your internet browser. Also note that it is best to download a whole folder at once (vs individual files one at a time) and then save to your computer. Otherwise, the files may only open in your browser window, which will prevent them from working fully.
*When completing the tables, please also ensure that you are using a recent version of Adobe Reader. You can access the newest version for free at: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
*The Accreditation Office is currently in the process of updating our file upload system. Please email completed self-study documents and annual reports to accreditationoffice@cpa.ca. Alternatively, you are welcome to send the electronic documents on a USB drive to:
