Can CA Training in industry provide the training experience necessary to obtain a licence to practice public accounting?
Union Gas can offer prospective CA students the qualifying experience and support necessary to achieve a CA designation. Industry-based CA training is for students pursuing a career in industry and is not structured to support the attainment of a public accounting license. Students who wish to obtain a public accounting license should seek employment with a public accounting firm.
The Union Gas CA training program focuses on hiring commerce and business students interested in pursuing their CA designation in industry. Under the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario (ICAO), the core academic requirement for qualification consists of a 4-year, 120-credit-hour university degree, one that either includes or has been augmented by 51 credit hours of prescribed university degree-credit courses. It is recommended that applicants for the program have completed a university degree program and all of the 51 credit hours of prescribed university degree-credit courses as outlined by the ICAO in order to be considered.
