The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) was incorporated by an Act of the Parliament of Canada in 1902,[1] which later became known as the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Act.[2]
The CICA developed and supported accounting, auditing and assurance standards for organizations in Canada, developed and delivered education programs, and issued the professional designation of Chartered Accountant. The CICA was a founding member of the International Federation of Accountants and the Global Accounting Alliance.
In 2014, CICA merged with Canada's two other major accounting designations to form the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada.[3]
