Trust is about more than just honesty. To say you trust someone means you not only believe what they say, but believe in their capabilities, their integrity and commitment.
The public’s trust in the CPA designation is the foundation on which our profession is built. Protecting that trust is fundamental to CPA Ontario.
The confidence of our clients, organizations and the general public — their belief that CPAs not only adhere to the highest professional and ethical standards but have the financial expertise and strategic insight to create value for organizations and economies — is a shared asset we have earned together and continually renew.
Our members rely on one another to adhere to the highest levels of professional standards and the CPA Code of Professional Conduct, and we enforce that commitment through rigorous regulatory practices, advisory services and lifelong learning.
From the leading practitioners of our field to new members who bring fresh energy and perspectives to our profession every year, we’re connected — to one another and to the public we serve — by trust.

Everything we do — from regulating members and firms to providing lifelong learning to attracting future CPAs — is guided by our commitment to the public trust.
Our professional community is connected by trust in the CPA brand and designation — just as we create value for our members, CPAs create value for organizations and economies.
