Ha, thats the beauty of it, most CAs don't end up doing accounting as they progress (or at least don't deal with the niggy gritty details), thats generally done by the CMAs, CGAs; while the CAs are the ones setting policies, dealing with complex treatements etc.

Nifty fact from my CA "graduation" ceremony from the chair of the CICA, 15 or 20% of senior executives in Canada are CAs, while representing only a fraction of a percent of the total population. And thats not just CFOs, that every position VP and up.
