CPA Canada applauds 4,648 successful CFE writers
TORONTO, Nov. 25, 2022 /CNW/ - Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada (CPA Canada) congratulates the 4,648 individuals who passed the Common Final Examination (CFE) held in September 2022. Taken together with the 1,640 people who passed the CFE held in May, there are now 6,288 people who have reached this important milestone in 2022 on their journey to become chartered professional accountants.
The CFE is a three-day evaluation designed to assess candidates' knowledge, judgement and professional skills. It is a critical component of the Canadian CPA certification program that requires individuals to demonstrate a full range of skills and competencies gained through education, examinations and work experience.
"The CFE is a demanding exam so the wonderful and joyful experience of passing is something the successful writers will remember forever," says Pamela Steer, president and CEO, CPA Canada. "These bright, dedicated and ambitious individuals are well on their way to earning a designation that can open many doors to rewarding careers because of the expertise, skills, integrity and unwavering ethics associated with being a Canadian CPA."
In addition to celebrating the achievements of all the successful writers, the profession also recognizes the CFE writers who achieved the highest standings on the exam. This exam's top writer, who receives the Governor General's Gold Medal and the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada cash prize of $5,000 for the highest standing in the country, is Helen Liu, BC, of D&H Group LLP in Vancouver.
"This is such an honour. It makes me really happy to see all my years of schooling culminate on such a good note with this win," says Helen Lui. "I feel motivated to do even better now, to be worthy of this accomplishment."
