On behalf of the CPA Alberta Board and our entire professional community, congratulations to each of you who passed the September CFE. This is a remarkable achievement—one that reflects your commitment, your discipline, and your ability to do hard things.
The CFE demands clear thinking, sound judgment, and the ability to stay steady when answers aren’t obvious. Demonstrating those strengths matters now more than ever. You’re stepping into the profession at a time of rapid disruption, polarization, and constant change—and you’ve already shown you can navigate complexity with clarity and resolve.
As you move toward earning your CPA designation, this moment marks more than a milestone. It reflects the professional you’re becoming. Someone who brings curiosity, adaptability, and integrity into their work. Someone ready to contribute in a world that needs thoughtful, principled leaders.
Whether your path leads you into public practice, corporate business, public service, social impact, entrepreneurship, or academia, you’re joining a community of over 32,000 Alberta CPAs who share a commitment to high standards and lifelong learning. And now, you add your voice—your perspective, your experience, your aspirations—to that collective strength.
My hope is that this accomplishment becomes the first chapter in the legacy you will build: leaving your mark on this world and helping shape a better future for the generations that follow.
We look forward to celebrating with you at Convocation in early 2026. Today, take a moment to truly honour what you’ve achieved. Passing the CFE is an extraordinary accomplishment, and you’ve earned every bit of the pride that comes with it.
