In November 1966, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward
Island formed the Atlantic Provinces Association of Chartered Accountants (which will hereafter be referred
to as APACA). The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bermuda joined APACA in 1973, followed by The
Institute of Chartered Accountants of Newfoundland in 1976. In May 1977, APACA was incorporated under the
Societies Act of Nova Scotia. In March 1989, the Board of Directors of APACA adopted the name Atlantic School
of Chartered Accountancy (hereafter to be referred to as the School or ASCA) as more accurately reflecting
the activities of the organization and its role within the profession.
The primary objective of the School is to provide a quality prequalification study program for students
wishing to qualify for membership in the profession. Administrative services in connection with student
registrations, course enrolments, educational programs, and examinations are provided through the
administrative office of the School, which is under the direction of the Executive Director.
