About us

Section à propos

All paths to the CPA profession are unique. Behind every success is ambition, effort and sometimes obstacles that have to be overcome. To remain a relevant and committed partner for the next generation, the Foundation began a strategic thinking process in 2025-2026. This process led it to make changes to its mission, vision and values so that the Foundation better meets current and future needs.

MISSION *

Promote equal opportunity and the accessibility of the CPA profession by supporting academic persistence and success, as well as financial education through scholarships, partnerships, mentoring and various awareness programs.

* New mission adopted by the Board of directors, to be ratified by the Foundation's members on September 24, 2026.

  • Commitment: investing wholeheartedly in the Foundation’s mission with integrity, neutrality and transparency.
  • Agility: taking proactive action to keep up with the rapid pace of change.
  • Collaboration: working together for the success of future CPAs.
  • Kindness: helping the next generation advance.
  • Diversity and inclusion: representing the reality of today’s society.

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.
