The Canadian Champion, Friday, December 22, 2006 - B11 Student makes the honour rol The numbers have added up in favour of a local char- tered accounting student who recently received top marks on this year's Canada-wide professional entry exams. Local resident Lindsey Harrold was one of just 10 Ontario students to make the prestigious honour roll for her score on the uniform evaluation. According to the results, four other Milton chartered accounting students also passed the exam - Charles Penner, Joanna Read, Matthew Sale and Chunhua Zhao. "Qualifying to become a CA is a very challenging process and the resulting career is rich in rewards and opportunities," said Brian Hunt, president and CAO of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario. "I am confident that all of the students will make great contributions in their future careers and will uphold the high standards of the CA profession." The evaluation is a three-day exam that assesses com- petencies including essential knowledge, professional judgment, ethics and the ability to communicate. Harrold said she chose to become a chartered account- ant because she wanted to deepen her understanding of financial information. "This is important in business because only by know- ing how financial information is generated can you identi- fy its strengths and limitations and use it to analyze situa- tions and make good decisions," she said.
