The Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada (CPA) hosted a cocktail reception last night at the Beachcombers Hotel in Villa, to celebrate the achievements of three candidates from St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the CPA Professional Education Program, after they successfully wrote and passed the Common Final Exam (CFE).
The CFE, which was written in September 2018, is a three-day evaluation that assesses competencies in becoming a Canadian Chartered professional Accountant, including professional knowledge and judgment, ethics and the ability to communicate. It is an important component and the final hurdle of the CPA Qualification program.
Delivering remarks during last evening’s cocktail, Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves commended the successful Vincentians for completing the program.
The Prime Minister also encouraged more Vincentians to get involved in this accounting program and he thanked the CPA for making the program available for Vincentians to benefit from more global employment opportunities.
