PUBLIC NOTICE
Glenn Bruce Davidson of Brentwood Bay, British Columbia

The membership of Glenn Bruce Davidson 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. Davidson promoted a business venture to clients and received loans from some of them.  In total, Mr. Davidson received over $2.6 million from investors, some of whom were clients.  Mr. Davidson has not accounted for the money he received, and Mr. Davidson did not co-operate with CPABC’s investigation.

As a former member, Mr. Davidson cannot use the designation “Chartered Professional Accountant” or legacy designation “Certified General Accountant”, or the initials “CPA” or “CGA”, or imply, suggest, or hold out that he is a Chartered Professional Accountant or Certified General Accountant.

PUBLIC NOTICE
SG & Associates of Vancouver, BC

On June 24, 2015, the Chartered Professional Accountants Act of British Columbia came into effect, amalgamating the Institute of Chartered Accountants of British Columbia, the Certified General Accountants Association of British Columbia, and the Certified Management Accountants Society of British Columbia, to establish the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia as the unified professional regulatory body for professional accountants in British Columbia.

It has recently come to the attention of the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia that SG & Associates of Vancouver, BC issued a review engagement report in late 2014, signed “SG & Associates Chartered Accountants”.  At the relevant time, SG & Associates did not hold a practice license from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of British Columbia, and therefore was not entitled to use the designation “Chartered Accountants” or the initials “CA” signifying that designation.

SG & Associates is not currently registered as a firm under the Chartered Professional Accountants Act, and therefore is not entitled to use:

  1. the designation “Chartered Professional Accountant” or the initials “CPA” signifying that designation, or
     
  2. any “legacy designation”, including the designation “Chartered Accountant” or the initials “CA” signifying that designation.
