Practical Experience - prior to Sep 1/09

Practical experience is an essential part of the CASB program.

Through a combination of practical experience, competency-based education and exposure to standards and ethics of the highest calibre, you will become a 'business-ready' CA prepared to meet the challenges of today's global, ever-evolving business environment.

You complete three years of paid practical experience and, at the same time, successfully complete the series of CASB online modules, developing a broad set of professional competencies and gaining a wealth of experience in a range of different companies, industries, and areas.

Under the three year experience model, each student must obtain the following minimum number of aggregate chargeable hours:

Minimum total chargeable hours

2,500

 

Minimum assurance (audit and review) hours

1,250

 

Minimum audit hours (within 1250 assurance hours above)

625

*

Minimum taxation hours

100

 

* The Institute of Chartered Accountants of British Columbia allows for a reduction in the minimum audit hour requirement for certification purposes (please review the specific policies of this institute). Additional audit hours to meet the 625 hour requirement may be required subsequently if you would like to have the right to practice public accounting in another province .
