Regulatory Process

All CGA members must adhere to the Association's Code of Ethical Principles and Rules of Conduct, which include responsibilities to society and the profession. When these rules are breached, there are processes in place to protect the public interest, other members and the Association. Members committing offences that constitute a breach of professional conduct will be subject to disciplinary action.

Professional Regulation

Under the CGA Act, the Government has granted the legal right to the Association to manage the profession. In return, the Association and its members are to act in the best interests of society, and do so through high standards of ethics, conduct and practice.
