About CPAYT

We are CPAYT, the Chartered Professional Accountants of Yukon.

In the Yukon, legislation to unify the legacy professional accounting bodies—the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Yukon (ICAYT), the Certified General Accountant Association of Yukon (CGA-YT), and the Certified Management Accountants Society of Yukon (CMAYT)—went into force on July 18, 2016.

Each territorial CPA will be a member organization of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada (CPA Canada), which represents more than 200,000 professional accountants across the country.

CPABC is responsible for the training and certification of CPA students. The Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia (CPABC) is responsible for the regulating and professional development of CPAYT members, and the protection of the public through its ethical standards and discipline processes.
