The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) - One Hundred Years

The Dominion Association of Chartered Accountants - now the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) - was established in 1902. Its goal was to develop the highest professional standards for the young country that was Canada. Now, a hundred years later, Canada is recognized as one of the most influential standard-setters in the world and is a leader in the global effort to create and implement international standards that will allow investors to compare reliable financial information from companies everywhere. For an overview of the CICA's history, read the online article "Setting the standard" in the May 2002 edition of CAmagazine.
