The bylaw regulations
Details provided online
The complete bylaws
and bylaw regulations
can be found on the
CPABC website under
Members/Regulatory or
Protecting the Public. These
documents have been written
in a plain language style.
We encourage all
members to read them
and get an understanding
of what it means to be a
member of CPABC.
The bylaw regulations provide the detail required to support the
administration of the bylaws. These regulations include provisions
for CPABC governance, such as setting the number of elected board
members at 15, and establishing four electoral regions (Vancouver
Island, Lower Mainland, Interior, and the North), with the requirement
that at least one board member be elected from each region.
The bylaw regulations also confirm that delivery of the education
program is delegated to the CPA Western School of Business, and set
out the CPD requirements (see page 24 for more on CPD).
Several of the bylaw regulations relate to public practice, including
the requirement for sole practitioners to appoint an assisting accountant
to be responsible for returning client records in the event of the sole
practitioner’s death or incapacity—this requirement was in place
for some legacy practitioners but is new for others. The regulations
also provide details regarding which public practice services can be
provided under each licence category—important information for all
practising members.
