CPA Nova Scotia commends the Government of Nova Scotia for reversing its proposed amendments to the Auditor General Act. Upholding the profession’s core values of independence, transparency, and accountability, the Auditor General plays a vital role in ensuring government financial accountability and maintaining public trust.

On behalf of CPAs across the province, CPA Nova Scotia engaged with the highest levels of government to express concerns about the legislation, and applauds Premier Houston and his government for their leadership in withdrawing the amendments.

The CPA profession is built on a foundation of trust and independent judgement, applying the highest ethical standards to financial and business leadership across all sectors. Auditors General across Canada—each a CPA—exemplify these enduring principles.
