September 7, 2023 

 

CPA Nova Scotia is proud to recognize nine exceptional CPAs that make up this year's CPA Nova Scotia Member Recognition Award recipients.  

 

Of the nine recipients, seven will be awarded the profession's highest mark of distinction, the Fellow (FCPA) designation. The honorary designation is awarded to Chartered Professional Accountants whose achievements in their careers and service to the community earn them distinction and bring honour to the profession.  

 

Two Nova Scotia CPAs have been awarded the Unsung Hero and Early Achievement awards. 

 

The Unsung Hero Award is given to a CPA who demonstrates dedication, commitment and outstanding service to individuals or groups within the community through volunteer activities.
