The Canadian Enterprises Gallery states "The heritage of Canada as a nation is inextricably interwoven with the growth and development of a diverse spectrum of Canadian enterprises. From the small family business to the large multi-national corporation, Canada has largely been built on the foundations laid by a broad range of private as well as public institutions." A 2001 posting notes "One of the leading and largest professional accounting bodies in the world, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA, as it is more commonly known) received its federal charter in 1902. Since then, it has been the pre-eminent accounting organization in Canada and has kept pace with the growth of Canada's economy. The mission of CICA is to serve the interests of society and the CA profession by providing leadership to uphold the professional integrity, standards and pre-eminence of Canada's Chartered Accountants, nationally and internationally."

Using social and digital media to get more from Accountancy Ireland
Fast, accessible and inexpensive new channels of communication are revolutionizing how the world communicates. For Accountancy Ireland these new media channels open the way to enhanced engagement with readers and bring with them the ability to deliver added value across a variety of platforms. For example, when the new digital edition of Accountancy Ireland was launched, the magazine staff was able to engage directly with readers to find out how it was displaying on their screens, how intuitive it was, whether they could operate the plug-ins like the embedded sound and video files, whether they wanted to print or download, or just read the issue online. These channels provide a direct, effective and inexpensive means of engagement with readers and communities. They make it easy for readers to talk back. It’s quick, it’s easy and, best of all, it’s fun! And, of course, it means that Chartered Accountants around the world have much more immediate access to events than was previously possible.
