Use of CPA Designation by Members
As per the bylaws passed at special and annual general meetings of the
ICABC, CGA-BC, and CMABC in 2013, if you wish to use the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation, it must be accompanied by your legacy designation. This means your credential would
be listed as “CPA, CA,” “CPA, CGA,” or “CPA, CMA.”
In addition, firms are not able to use the CPA designation in the firm
name or descriptive style until new legislation has been enacted. We
have prepared an FAQ on the use of the CPA designation for your
reference. Visit www.bccpa.ca, and choose “Use of Designation” under
the Members tab.
