TORONTO, Feb. 25 /CNW/ - Chartered Accountants (CAs) are internationally recognized as Canada's leading accounting designation.

Senior officials with the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) including Kevin Dancey, FCA, president and CEO, will be available in Ottawa on Thursday, March 4, 2010, to provide comment immediately following the federal budget lockup.

The Canadian government faces a difficult balancing act. There are signs of an improving economy but there is no assurance that the country has entered a period of sustainable recovery.

CAs will be able to provide analysis of the budget and its impact on Canadians. CAs will be available to comment on matters such as government spending/stimulus initiatives and any personal, corporate or sales tax announcements.
