CGA-Canada Partners with CPA Ireland on Entrepreneurship Study

VANCOUVER, Sept. 22 /CNW/ - The Certified General Accountants Association of Canada (CGA-Canada) in partnership with CPA Ireland examined how the fragility of the global economy contributed to the climate for entrepreneurship in both Ireland and Canada. Today, CPA Ireland is announcing the results of its study at an exclusive event in Dublin, Ireland, attended by the Chair of CGA-Canada's Board of Directors, Terry LeBlanc.

CPA Ireland has identified and brought forth recommendations concerning several topics including the climate, culture, credit environment, tax system and regulatory regime which influence entrepreneurship. CGA-Canada supports CPA Ireland's recommendations that are needed to stimulate growth and innovation of entrepreneurship in the current economic climate.

Following this report launch, CGA-Canada will be releasing its own paper on entrepreneurship in Canada during Small Business Week in October.
