Dear fellow Canadian members,
In early December we held member events in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto, thanks to Ian, Susan and Ravi, our contact members for hosting these opportunities to get together again after three years away. Hopefully we will be able to get together a bit more in 2023 so keep an eye out for invitations.
I did want to highlight some changes to access to really excellent content for 2023 that comes with your membership, as part of a wider initiative to support members with their lifelong learning, from January 2023 your ICAEW membership will include access to the content of the Audit and Assurance Faculty, Financial Reporting Faculty and Tax Faculty, and all ICAEW Communities – find out more – (previously this content was behind a paywall). You can select these when renewing your membership for the year so please note that when you renew for 2023.
As always please reach out to me if there are any matters you wish to discuss, and I hope to see many of you in 2023.
Wishing you and your families warmest wishes for the holiday season,
Richard Nunn
ICAEW Council Member for Canada

Dear fellow Canadian members,
I trust you enjoyed the Canadian summer, this land is so beautiful at this time of year.
There are some items I wanted to highlight for you as noted in the ICAEW annual report.
Record Student intake
As mentioned in Michael Izza’s foreword, 2021 saw a record ACA student intake of 11,049. This marks a huge 18% increase on 2020, and 15% more than our previous global high in 2019.
CIPFA
Looking ahead, ICAEW are in ongoing talks with the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA), to explore the potential for working more closely together in the future. The vision driving the discussions is the creation of a single strong federated professional accountancy body with truly global reputation and reach. Please watch this space.
ICAEW – ‘Accountancy Body of the Year’
The 19th PQ Magazine annual awards took place in early May 2022 in London and saw ICAEW winning the Accountancy Body of the Year 2022 award. It is a testament to the institute’s amazing work in diversity, inclusion, sustainability and putting our key stakeholders at the heart of everything we do, and represents and recognises the achievements of everyone here at ICAEW.
Changing CPE requirements
Lastly, as I highlighted in my recent linked in post in the Canadian ICAEW members group there are important changes coming to Continuing Professional Education (CPE) requirements. Please see here for a summary of the changes.
As always please reach out to me if there are any matters you wish to discuss.
Kind regards,
Richard Nunn

"June is a month of change for the ICAEW leadership - the Presidential year completes at the AGM in early June when Will Brooks steps down and the new President, Julia Penny will take on the mantle.
What always strikes me about all of Presidents I have known is the commitment they have to ICAEW and pride in all the accomplishments of our members wherever they practice around the world.I wanted to take a moment to thank them for volunteering so much of their time and talent to ensuring the continued success of the ICAEW.
As always if there are any matters you would like to discuss, please contact me via LinkedIn or by email.

"Hello to all ICAEW members in Canada,
Hopefully by the time you read this things will be starting to warm up a little. It certainly has been a chilly start to the year in most parts of the country. The ICAEW Council has been busy over the past quarter as it considers and deliberates on recommendations generated from a review of the governance framework and I expect this will absorb a significant portion of the agenda for the coming year as the Council seeks to evaluate its governance practices to ensure they are fit for purpose.
The ICAEW continues to focus on providing relevant content for its members and in the digital age we now embrace I would encourage you to spend some time on the website and reviewing the links in this newsletter to access the deep and high quality resources that our institute has to offer. In particular there are many ICAEW Communities which allow you to connect on specific matters of interest to help advance your practice, business and knowledge.
As always if there are any matters you would like to discuss, please contact me via LinkedIn or by email.
Richard Nunn
ICAEW Council Member for Canada"
