INCORPORATION STATUTES

The Foundation of Quebec Chartered Professional Accountants was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization (NPO) under Part III of the Quebec Companies Act on August 31, 2012. It is a charity in the meaning of the Income Tax Act.

Therefore, the Foundation is a separate legal entity from the Ordre des comptables professionnels agréés du Québec. It is led by an independent board of directors from the Order’s board and is subject to different laws, regulations and obligations than those to which the Order is subject.

The Order encourages the next generation by providing support to the Foundation and organizing benefit events for it. The Order also acts as an intermediary between donors and the Foundation, mainly for the donations that its members make to the Foundation when paying their annual dues.

Furthermore, the Foundation receives administrative support from the Order and makes an annual contribution to use its offices; this amount is entered under the "administrative expenses" heading of its financial statements.

PROMOTING THE CPA PROFESSION

  • Felix Remillard 

Social involvement and the quality of my academic record have always been important to me. I had the opportunity to get involved this year in my university’s CPA committee and work on promoting the profession. Continuing to perform academically while participating in these activities was still a huge challenge during this busy year of my bachelor’s program. I feel fortunate that my efforts have been rewarded in this way.
