Canadian Public Accountability Board (CPAB)

The Canadian Public Accountability Board (CPAB) was established in 2003 to oversee public accounting firms that audit Canadian reporting issuers. As an independent, non-profit organization, its mission is to promote high-quality, independent auditing to protect the interests of the investing public. CPAB conducts regular inspections of participating audit firms to assess their compliance with professional standards, and it has the authority to impose requirements and sanctions to drive improvements in audit quality, thereby contributing to public confidence in the integrity of Canada's capital markets.
