We should not disguss CA and CGA/CMA together. They are basically different things. CGAs can't perform public auditing, which is main job of public accounting. CGAs are for industrial accounting, CAs are for both.

It's not true!For your information, CGAs CAN perform public accounting, including auditing. There are CGA based public accounting firms across Canada. If you don't believe it, check the CGA website: www.cga-canada.org.

Interesting point!Oh yeah!
To correct you first, I am not a CGA student, but a CGA Member! I believe I know more than you do. If you are jealous about what I have now, then pity you!
I won't discriminate any accounting body exiting in Canada. If you don't think CGA is for you, then dont' even go there.
Plus, do some research before you actually speak or write.
If my opinion offends you, I am sorry.

Gig deal being a CGA member girl? No reason to get so excited and personal. We are all friends here, or aren't we?

It is true my friend. CGAs don't have the privilage to sign off auditing reports. Only CAs do. CGAs can be staff accountants for public auditing, they just can't sign off their name on a audit report. Cheers.

It will be my last reply to any of further discussion.I only want to add my two cents on this topic. I have no desire either to defend myself or offend anyone. All I am trying to do is to clarify some of confusions. I certainly didn't expect anyone agree with me. Understandable!
I don't want to repeat myself since I've said enough.
Just would like to wish anyone over Eastern Canada has the desire to become a professional accountant good luck and a prosperous life!
Cheers!

Cool down my friend. No body is trying to challange you. We are just sharing information with people who are not in this industry but want to know more about it. That's all.There is nothing wrong with CGAs, but everyone has his limits right? CAs can't act like an engineer, it's that simple.
