Indigenous Learners in Accounting Initiative

In the Spring and Summer of 2023, as part of the indigenous Learners Initiative, AFOA Alberta and the CPA Western School of Business offered two customized courses/modules - Introductory Financial Accounting (IFA) and Core 1.

In conjunction with subject matter experts from First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples, CPA Canada incorporated content relevant to their communities and reflective of their world views and experiences in the learning materials.

This joint process enriches the curriculum with a breath of Indigenous culture, content, and context. The recognition and affirmation of Indigenous peoples within the learning materials and approach is novel and a first in accounting education.
