Regulatory

The Chartered Professional Accountants and Public Accounting Act was enacted on April 1, 2015. It is the result of extensive and detailed consultations spanning many months between the three legacy accounting bodies (CA, CGA, and CMA) and the Province of Prince Edward Island. Among other things, the Act sets out requirements for making by-laws, registration, prohibitions, licensing, practice inspection, complaints and discipline along with transitional provisions for Chartered Professional Accountants of Prince Edward Island.

The CPAPEI Code of Professional Conduct was approved by the Board of CPAPEI effective October 13, 2016, and last amended July 1, 2020. CPA Prince Edward Island manages regulatory responsibilities, including discipline matters, for Members.
