What is the status of currently Approved Training Offices?
Effective September 1, 2007, all Approved Training Offices in jurisdictions where the changes are being implemented will be recognized as CA Training Offices for the purposes of training in audit and assurance. However, they will be required to have any new positions created outside of audit and assurance approved by their Provincial Institute/Ordre. This status will then be subject to reassessment as part of our ongoing review process for CA Training Offices. CA Training Offices currently approved to provide audit, assurance and taxation hours, as defined under current standards and regulations, will have to meet the additional criteria set out in Practical Experience Requirements 2007 for audit and assurance hires whose employment commences after August 31, 2009.
