FAQs

 

What are annual dues?

Annual dues cover learner registration with the School for the period of April 1 to March 31 of the following year. Invoices are issued before the due date.
 
Annual dues are used to develop, enhance, and deliver the CPA certification program and its prerequisites, and to develop support services so the CPA profession can provide the best education and support for students and candidates. For more information on services available in your province, please contact your provincial CPA body.
 
New learners are charged annual dues according to, and on, the date of their registration. Thereafter they are billed dues every year at the same time as all other learners.
 
All learners must pay annual dues to maintain their status in good standing with CPAWSB.

Who is responsible for paying annual dues?

All currently-registered CPAWSB learners are responsible for ensuring their dues are paid, whether directly or through employers.

If you have successfully completed the CFE but not received the CPA designation, you are a candidate. Candidates expecting to be admitted to membership in 2020/21 must pay 2020/21 annual dues. Candidates admitted to membership may be eligible for a pro-rated refund of annual dues depending on when they become members. 

I no longer live in the western region. Am I required to pay annual dues?

If you are registered as a learner with CPAWSB, you are required to pay annual dues. If you are a candidate and wish to transfer to another regional body, please contact cpaapplication@cpawsb.ca to work with our staff to facilitate this transfer. If you are a student and wish to transfer to another region, please contact prepapplication@cpawsb.ca. 

 

I am currently a CPA PEP candidate. What happens if I do not pay annual dues?

Suspension: If you fail to pay annual dues before May 31, you will be suspended in the first week of June. Anyone suspended from CPA PEP will not have any rights or privileges of a candidate, including the right to enroll in modules or exams or the right to have any practical experience recognized.

Withdrawal: When you are suspended, you will be informed of the final deadline to pay your dues. If you fail to pay your dues before the specified deadline, you will be permanently withdrawn from CPA PEP.

If you are withdrawn for non-payment of dues, you will:

  • Lose all rights and privileges of being a CPAWSB candidate, including access to online resources via D2L
  • Lose any transition provisions or special considerations if you are a legacy transition candidate
  • Lose credit for any completed CPA PEP modules
  • Lose any earned practical experience

If you seek to re-register, you will be treated as a new candidate and need to request and pay for a transcript assessment to confirm eligibility for CPA PEP. You will be assessed based on the entrance requirements at the time.

Additional details are available here.
