How to become a PPR?

To speed up the processing of practical experience authorization requests from candidates, accounting firms and organizations submit their practical experience program (including the job-related tasks) to CPA Atlantic School of Business for pre-approval.

  • Take on CPA candidates on a regular basis;
  • Have a CPA member on its management team who will take ownership of the CPA pre-approved program;
  • Provide candidates with the opportunity to develop CPA competencies through progressively diverse and complex tasks.

If you wish to have your organization accredited, contact the Practical Experience team, practicalexperience@cpaatlantic.ca.

The CPA designation gives you the set of skills to do anything.
