Seven Abbotsford students attended the Chartered Professional Accountants of B.C.’s (CPABC) convocation ceremony held May 21 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
Students recognized at the CPA convocation ceremony have either become designated members of CPABC this year or will be eligible for membership. A total of 768 students attended the convocation.
The seven local students are: Avninder Dhillon, Brendan Friesen, Amandeep Gill, Ekroop Khangura, Debra Neufeld, Kamaldeep Sandhu, and Matthew Sunder.
“We welcome the newest chartered professional accountants to the profession. These students have earned their designations through rigorous training and assessment of their business and accounting competencies,” said Olin Anton, chair of the CPABC board of directors.
To qualify as a CPA, students must complete rigorous course work, pass the national Common Final Examination (CFE), and fulfill relevant practical experience requirements.
The national CFE ensures all Canadian chartered professional accountants meet the same high standards, which are recognized nationally and internationally.
