Nearly 90 per cent (89 per cent) of all CGAs hold commerce or business-related undergraduate degrees, or business diplomas. Ten per
cent hold an MBA.
Twenty six per cent of CGAs hold a Canadian general business/commerce degree. Similarly, 22 per cent of CGAs hold an honours
business/commerce degree and 23 per cent of CGAs have a two or three-year business diploma from a Canadian institution.
Concerning non-Canadian degrees, six per cent of CGAs have an honours business/commerce degree, and an additional 10 per cent
have a general business or commerce degree.
Together with the CGA designation, four per cent of CGAs hold a CPA designation and another three per cent an ACCA designation. A
very small number of CGAs hold a CA, CFP, CFE or CMA (one per cent each). The vast majority of CGAs, 80 per cent, do not have any
other designations, including CBV, CFA, LLB and TEP.
Younger CGAs are significantly more likely to have obtained an accounting or business-related university undergraduate degree (for
example, 96 per cent per cent of those who hold a CGA between the ages of 26 to 30 years of age have obtained a commerce or
business-related degree, compared to 66 per cent of CGAs between the ages 56 and 60 who have obtained the same degree).
