All CA students must write the CICA’s Uniform Final Examination – the UFE. To pass the exam, CA candidates must clearly demonstrate their competence in analyzing and solving complex business cases. These cases will test their preparation and experience gained while articling with a CA firm.

How SR&G Helps You Prepare

In Ontario, only about 60 per cent of people pass the UFE on their first attempt. But at Scott, Rankin & Gardiner, our pass rate is much higher – a result of our comprehensive, custom-designed and structured CA program. Why do we succeed where others fail? It’s all about our commitment and dedication in making our employees the best they can be.

Real Experience
We make sure your work during the year is relevant to the case-studies you will address in the UFE. We have in-house preparation in all areas of accounting, auditing and taxation. In-depth, on-the-job training with our diverse client base gives you the well-rounded knowledge and critical thinking ability to successfully solve all challenges presented in the UFE.

Mentoring Program
We pair you with a CA who recently passed their UFE. Fresh from their experience, they help you foresee challenges and plan your study schedule accordingly. We’ll open a dialogue on professional issues to enhance your understanding of the industry, and with the help of practice exams, reviews of previous exams and one-on-one study coaching, we’ll give you the confidence you need to pass the test.

The Time You Need
To help you fully prepare for your UFE, we grant you as much time away from the office as you need. We adjust your workload to accommodate your study periods so you can spend more time focusing on passing your exams.

Paying Your Way
We pay for exam and registration fees, materials, residence, travel and courses. Specifically, we cover student registration fee with ICAO, CGA or CMA, annual Canadian and Provincial Institute fees, approved exam technique or preparation course fees, and School of Accountancy entrance examination fees.

Continuous Learning Beyond the UFE

At SR&G, we’re committed to offering our clients the very best service and expertise. It is vital that all of our staff advance their skills and commit to life-long professional development. We also offer tax update courses, computer software courses, time management courses, and presentation, communication and leadership skills so we can evolve and be a leader in setting industry standards. If a course you want to take is happening out of town, we’ll pay your way there – that’s how dedicated we are to seeing you succeed.
