On the request of Chapter Establishment and Engagement Committee President of CA Sri Lanka, few CA members got together and initiated the idea of forming an association of Sri Lankan Chartered Accountants in Canada. As a result, on 6th December,2022 the “CA Sri Lanka - Canada Chapter” was established.
The Chapter was formed to provide support to all CA members residing in Canada to further their knowledge and also provide a forum for sharing their knowledge and experiences of working in Canada. It was also felt that this forum would assist in improving the technical and other skills required by Sri Lankan accounting professionals and also enable them to meet the minimum ‘Continuing Professional Development’ (CPD) requirements as mandated by CA Sri Lanka.
The Chapter currently comprises of around 90 members representing CA Sri Lanka.
The Executive Committee of the Chapter invites all the members living in Canada to get in touch with the Chapter and join the journey to make an impact on the CA Sri Lanka fraternity and the broader community.
