It is important to note that during peak periods, a large volume of registrations are received daily via fax, email, post, online and in person. The online registration system is now automated; therefore, these registrations are processed instantly. Registrations received via fax, e-mail, post or in person are processed manually by our Client Service Representatives. As a result, input times will vary depending on volumes and that the registrations are processed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We recommend early registration to secure seating as seminars fill quickly.
Registrations are accepted by mail, fax, e-mail, online and in person. Registrations cannot be accepted via telephone. Registrations must be accompanied with the registration fee and be received no later than five (5) business days prior to the seminar date when paying by Credit Card, Cash, Cheque, and Money Order and ten (10) business days when paying by personal or corporate passport tickets. Registrations received after the deadlines cannot be processed and payments will be returned.
Due to seminar demand and that registrations are processed on a first come first serve basis, registrants may be automatically “waitlisted” if a seminar has become full. If you receive a letter advising that you are on the waitlist this does NOT mean that you are registered in the seminar. The ICAA will contact you IF space becomes available. If you are not admitted to the seminar, a full refund will be issued. Seminar locations will be communicated once the participant is “registered” (not on the waitlist). Note: To be on the waitlist, a completed registration form and payment must be received by the ICAA.
All fees are payable in full at the time of registration and are subject to GST. Registrations cannot be processed without payment. Fees can be paid by Passport Tickets, VISA, MasterCard, American Express, cash, money order, or cheque (payable to the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Alberta). All fees must accompany registration forms. Payment using a Corporate or Personal Passport, registrations must be received thirty (30) business days prior to the conference date. Early registration discount, where offered on conferences, must be received thirty (30) business days prior to the conference date.
Confirmation letters will be sent via e-mail upon completion of the registration process. A Reminder letter is sent two (2) weeks prior to the conference date. If you do not receive a Confirmation or a Reminder letter within five (5) business days, please contact Member Education. Please note: Confirmation and Reminder Letters are provided as a professional courtesy. All assessments apply whether or not you receive a confirmation or reminder letter.
Only those individuals who have been sent Confirmation letters may attend. All registrants upon their arrival are required to sign in on the attendance sheet, please arrive early.
Due to printing requirements and material updates, materials cannot be distributed prior to the conference date. Materials will be provided to the registrant appearing on the class list.
The ICAA will issue refunds for cancellations based on the following. (i.) More than thirty (30) days before the program start date - A refund less $50 (+ GST) will be granted upon receipt of written notification. (ii.) Less than thirty (30) days – no refund. Full program fees apply.
Participant Substitution occurs when one person substitutes for another person to attend the conference. Participant Substitution for conferences must be received in writing three (3) business days before the start of the conference. Participant Substitution without prior notice will ONLY be accepted on-site for participants using Corporate Passport tickets (as Personal passport tickets are non-transferable). Corporate Passport Participant Substitutions will require the new participant to sign the Participant Substitution form obtained from Member Education onsite staff. The Participant Substitution form is available online.
Note: For participant Substitutions for all conferences, concurrent session registrations cannot be changed.
“No-Shows” are registrants who do not attend the conference for which they are registered. No refund, credit, partial or full will be given to “No-Shows”, regardless of method of payment.
Seminar locations and dates are subject to change between the time the catalogue is published and the time of seminar delivery. It is important to check your Confirmation and Reminder letters for seminar details. Please check the website, http://www.albertacas.ca/ProfessionalDevelopment/SeminarsProducts/Search.aspx for the most up-to-date seminar information.
Participants are advised to keep a copy of their initial registration form or on-line summary page regardless of the method of registration as their official receipt (GST# has been included for this purpose) since receipts are not automatically provided. Effective January 1, 2009, the ICAA has been certified by Human Resources & Skills Development Canada as an educational institution, thus tax receipts (valid for s.118.5 of the ITA) can be issued for seminar amounts over $100 that "provide students with sufficient skills to enable them to work in, or to improve their skills in a recognized occupation". Certification does not guarantee that the CRA will automatically accept, for tuition tax credit purposes, receipts for all courses or programs. If you would like a receipt for income tax purposes, please e-mail us at: m.education@icaa.ab.ca
The Institute reserves the right to cancel seminars for any reason. Notice of cancellation will be given at a minimum of five (5) business days in advance of the seminar start date where possible. A full refund will be provided.
Please note that all our seminars are subject to GST. While we understand that some organizations are GST exempt, our seminar offerings are attended by the individual, not the organization, and are thus subject to GST regardless of employer or employment status. This is the position taken by the CRA. For further information, please send an e-mail to: m.education@icaa.ab.ca
