What we do

The Board consists of five members, three appointed by government and two appointed by The Institute Of Chartered Accountants Of Nova Scotia. Other than issuing licences the board:

- Maintains a roll of licensee
- Considers matters of interest and concerns to Public Accountants
- Prescribes the standard education and other qualifications required of applicants.

The board must meet in January and July. Applicants are approved at these meetings following date of application. Bill number twenty six amends the act to permit a corporation to practice Public Accountancy but retains individual liability and places restrictions on the ownership and management of the corporation.

The Public Accountants Board is committed to ensuring that persons who are deaf and hard-of-hearing benefit equally from services offered to the general public and will make reasonable accommodation for the provision of its services including interpreter services where needed.
