Serving the Public Interest

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) serves the public interest. It is a mandate that has defined the CA profession for over 100 years. In this regard, the CICA has been a strong supporter of the Canadian government’s anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regime (AML) since it began in the mid 1990s. A significant amount of guidance on AML matters is provided on the CICA website to assist CAs in meeting their obligations under Canada's Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act.
