Introduction

In October 2002, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) conducted a members’ compensation survey. The survey was completed in response to members who wanted benchmark salary information that they could use as a guide during salary negotiations and when hiring other CAs.

Detailed results are presented in this guide to ensure that the information provided is useful to all members regardless of their experience, location and area of work. The report is organized into nine separate files to make it easier for members to find the information they are looking for.
