Resolutions of Discipline Proceedings

The membership of Mr. Anwar Chaudhry of Coquitlam, 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 that:

  • Mr. Chaudhry’s conduct fell markedly below the standards of conduct expected of a member of the profession, and which are relied on by the public. 
  • His conduct was not only unprofessional, it was grossly reckless. 
  • His lack of recognition and responsibility for the consequences of his conduct, coupled with his lack of cooperation with the CPABC, make him unfit to be a member of the profession. 

As a former member, Mr. Chaudhry 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.

Decision

The membership of Paul Robert Guerette 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 the extensive and uncontroverted evidence of the egregious professional misconduct of Mr. Guerette adduced at the hearing of the Amended Statement of Complaint in this matter compelled the immediate cancellation of Mr. Guerette’s membership in CPABC.

In view of the seriousness of Mr. Guerette’s professional misconduct, the Panel rendered its immediate Decision with written reasons to follow.

As a former member, Mr. Guerette 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.
