The 2017 cohort has market-leading experience in fields ranging from audit, tax and reporting standards to banking, insurance, aviation, retail, tourism, telecommunications, technology and education, among others.
?Professional accountants are uniquely positioned to serve as trusted collaborative business leaders, having both the financial expertise and ethical fortitude to interpret, challenge and transform,? said Alan Mak, FCPA, FCA, Chair of CPA Ontario's Council. ?Fellows of the profession are those who fully embody these attributes, and have contributed their expertise both throughout their careers and in their communities.?
