Legal remedies
Legal remedies are conducted through the courts to, among other things:
- obtain financial compensation in cases where a CPA may have caused damages;
- sanction the conduct of a CPA who has committed a penal or criminal act.
Important! You must inform the administrator of the professional liability insurance plan for Order members if you decide to bring legal proceedings against a CPA.1
1 CPAs who practise at BDO, Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PwC, RCGT and Richter have been excluded from the Order’s group professional liability insurance plan. CPAs who practise at these firms must maintain professional liability coverage at least equal to that provided under the group plan and submit proof thereof to the Order.
