Getting CPA work experience through industry (Vancouver, BC, Canada)
Just wondering how everyone's experience was meeting the work experience requirements through industry as opposed to public practice.
Also I was wondering if anyone is able to share examples of work/duties they performed to reach their Level 2 experience in the different sub areas of the Technical Competencies.
For example, under Financial Statement Analysis under the Financial Accounting competency, CPABC gives a description of:
- Evaluate management communication (MD&A)
- Evaluate financial results for stakeholders
- Evaluate the impact of strategic and operational decisions on financial results
Can anyone provide some real world examples of details about what they had to do to achieve the Level 2 experience?
I just want to be able to request the right duties from my employer. The guide CPABC will help, but at the same time, I'd just like to be more clear and specific with the work I should be looking for. It can apply to the Financial Accounting competency or any others.
Thanks
