On July 15, 2010 the AC Group submitted its response to the Public Trust Committee's Consultation Paper Independence Requirements under Review, which seeks input into possible changes to the profession's Rules of Professional Conduct relating to Independence. The Paper is the result of the profession's desire to adopt the International Code of Ethics for the Canadian environment.
While our Group is generally supportive of the adoption of the Code, and the need for external accountants to continue to act objectively and to be perceived as such, we also wish to make it clear that our objectivity is part of our core values, and we are concerned about the adoption of rules which could unfairly affect our ability to serve the needs of our Atlantic Canadian clients. A copy of our submission, together with other submissions made regarding Canadian standards, can be downloaded from the Publications Page under Resources. Â

We appreciate the level of service and attention a local firm provides, and the knowledge that as we grow, they have the backing of the AC Group association to grow with us.
I was in the banking business for 20 years and worked with accounting firms of all types and sizes. When I made a career change 10 years ago one decision that was very easy to make was to use a local CA firm. I had seen first hand the importance of receiving personal, uninterrupted accounting and financial advice.
