ave you seen the latest edition of
the BC Check-Up, read Industry
Update, or scanned through the
recommendations CPABC made to the
Select Standing Committee on Finance and
Government Services? Were you aware that
changes are coming to regulatory requirements? Did you catch an enlightening TED
Talk on what it takes to be a great leader?
CPABC releases a myriad of public policy,
government relations, and communications
pieces throughout the year, and also shares
relevant and timely information from other
trusted sources on news and trends in accounting, economic issues, business and
management best practices, and thought
leadership. So one of the easiest ways you—as
a member, candidate, or student—can stay
abreast of new information is by following
one or more of CPABC’s social media channels.
On CPABC’s corporate blog, the Briefing
Room, and our Facebook, Twitter, and
LinkedIn accounts, we provide important
updates and easy access to cutting-edge
content on emerging trends that matter to
business and accounting professionals.
By following us on social media, you’ll also gain opportunities to connect with other members,
candidates, and students, and be among the first to learn of upcoming events, career opportunities, and professional development offerings. In addition, you’ll find out how to give back to
the profession through updates on mentoring, committees, media relations, chapters, and
more.
Our social media is closely linked to the newly launched CPABC website at www.bccpa.ca,
which is your central hub for all CPABC information and updates.
