In order to resolve a disciplinary proceeding before a Panel of CPABC’s Disciplinary Committee concerning professional misconduct alleged against her, Eugenia Tang of Vancouver, British Columbia has agreed to the voluntary suspension of her membership in the Organization of Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia (“CPABC”) and the voluntary suspension of the public practice license and firm registration issued by CPABC for a period of six months, commencing on September 25, 2025.
The professional misconduct alleged against Ms. Tang includes numerous breaches of the CPABC Code of Professional Conduct, including: failing to cooperate with CPABC’s practice review requirements; failing to respond on numerous occasions to telephone calls and written correspondence from the CPABC Investigator who sought information relating to the two complaints; failing to provide any comments on the draft investigation reports by the extended deadline, as requested by the Investigator, or at all; and claiming more Continuing Professional Development credit hours than eligible to claim, which she knew or should have known was false or misleading.
Ms. Tang has admitted to the above allegations that CPABC has made against her.
Ms. Tang has agreed to pay a fine of $5,000.00 and pay $1,500.00 towards CPABC’s costs of the disciplinary proceedings.
