NOTES FROM THE LEADERSHIP CEO

REPORT

Shelley Thiel, FCPA, FCA, CEO, CPA Saskatchewan

While the past 20 months have been challenging and full of disruption for the profession, they are also characterized by agility and resilience. Globally, the pandemic has altered every aspect of our daily lives. In addition, digital transformation is occurring at a speed never seen before and accelerated by the pandemic. The workforce has changed considerably, with many organizations quickly moving to fully remote and hybrid work arrangements. Many organizations have been forced to change their business models. Our members have demonstrated their ability to adapt and lead in this time of change and uncertainty. We have seen members transition to remote work situations while continuing to provide excellent service to their employers or clients. Businesses have found new ways to deliver their products or services. CPAs continue to play an important role today and in shaping tomorrow’s future. As we reflect on the great work done by our members and look to the future, it is the time of year to celebrate some of the future leaders of our profession. December 3rd was an exciting day for our profession as the results of the September 2021 CFE were released. Congratulations to our 110 successful writers! The candidates have demonstrated resilience and patience throughout the pandemic culminating with the CFE. We are proud to recognize the achievement of this professional milestone! We also want to recognize our five candidates who were named to the CPA Canada Honour Roll. Congratulations to Sarah Garden, Owen Kot, Rianne Morrow, Alexandra Parsley and Joshua Stranden on your achievement! We are proud to celebrate all our members and candidates – our leaders of today and tomorrow. As we come to the end of 2021, I want to wish all of you a very happy holiday season and best wishes for a healthy and safe 2022.
