Yes, the potential risk of impairments to current members's status - that is one the big issuesince in Ontario, in CA's mind, CGA program is still inferior to theirs and CGAs are considered by CAs as lower than them.

CA 的自我感觉是太好了,有本事把UFE放开了让大家考啊。看完以后超不爽,下周上班继续虐那些来审计的四大CA们。

Another issue that I once learned is the legal issue on the merger.CA treats the merger is an amalgamation, CGA would like it be a joint venture. If an amalgamation, then no way for CGAs to back if they were unfairly treated in the new CPA umbrella. If it is a joint venture, then CGA still holds its legal status but only put all of its assets (members ...) into the new CPA, and in case need to go back, then just like a withdrawal from a joint venture.

This is not a good analogy. CA students are not comparable to PHDs, nor CGAs to cooks or chefs. 我爱蜜桃儿 has good reason to complain.When you come to serve your customer, it is assumed that you have received sufficient training either in house or on field under the supversion of your senior colleague. You cannot ask your customer silly questions.

Apprenticeship is a very necessary and important part of professional service providers' growth.It is true that questions to client should be dealt with good caution before they go out to clients, but it is toally natural to expect green horns.There is no need to fuss over it.

You sound like that CA students or CAs are much more superior intellectually, but only lack practical experience. That is not true.It might be true in the past when the best accounting students chose to pursue the CA designation, and those not so great chose CGA. CA still attracts the best accounting students, but the immigrants, people like many others here and me, have changed the membership structure of CGA. I can say with certain confidence without being complacent that I am more intelligent than most CAs and CA students, while I admit that intelligence is not the only factor for success.

You think :-). Intelligence can be measured in all variety but never in one absolute measure and never an equivalent of knowledge span. One basic foundation of intelligence is integrated thinking,acknowledging pros and cons of each options or strengths and weakness of each party, and never hasten to judge blindly without criteria and context.

PHDs are assumed to have great intellectual powers and in-depth knowledge in specific areas.

There are all kinds of PHDs.

You can randomly ask some CAs. But people will not tell you what they are thinking. Or you can find yourself by reading some unification discussion threads.
