Lakecity resident joins ranks of chartered accountants

A Williams Lake CA student is one of 125 B.C. and Yukon residents to become certified professional chartered accountants.

Williams Lake CA student, Rachel Meldrum, passed the three-day national Uniform Evaluation (UFE) exam, which was administered by the legacy Chartered Accountants School of Business (CASB) in June.

A total of 125 B.C. and Yukon writers have successfully completed the exam, announced Friday, Aug. 28 by the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia (CPABC) and the CPA Western School of Business (CPAWSB).

In order to become designated, students must complete rigorous course work, pass the UFE, and work for 30 months in an approved training office. The national UFE ensures all Canadian chartered accountants meet the same high standards, which are recognized nationally and internationally.
