If you aren't aware, they're doing a little remixing of credentials up there in Canada, so naturally they did an actual remix to hammer the point home before everything becomes official across the country. Note the Canadian CPA — or Chartered Professional Accountant — is not to be confused with the American CPA. Hopefully it doesn't cause any issues like that time the CGA got mad at some guys with CGMA titles for almost pretending to be CGAs (or something).
Are we all clear now? Good, on to the video. The cringe-worthy, frightening, embarrassing video.
Ladies and gentlemen, "What Did the Accountant Say?"
Oh dear. What the…?
Had to love this comment on the video:
