The membership of Mr. Brent Geen of Port Moody, BC, in the Organization of Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia (CPABC) has been cancelled as a result of a Hearing before a Panel of the Disciplinary Committee.
The Disciplinary Committee found Mr. Geen violated the CPABC Code of Professional Conduct, including stealing over $100,000 from a family business of which he was the Controller with full banking authority, by making unauthorized payments to his personal credit card, which he knew or should have known was unlawful.
As a former member, Mr. Geen cannot use or display the designations “Chartered Professional Accountant”, “Chartered Accountant”, or “Professional Accountant”, the initials “CPA”, “CA”, “CPA, CA”, or “PA”, or imply, suggest, or hold out that he is a Chartered Professional Accountant or a Professional Accountant.
