The CPA Canada Learning Library
The CPA Canada Learning Library covers technical and enabling competencies and consists of several volumes (eBooks) that are available to candidates in both PDF and online formats. The eBooks include resources such as written instruction, snapshots, examples, summary problems and e-lessons on key technical topics.
