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. 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.
a) For credit card payments we require card type, account #, name on the card, expiry date and cardholder signature. Other payment types must be received by the ICAA with the registration forms. Please do not submit separately.
b) Cash, cheque, money order and credit card (American Express, MasterCard and Visa) are accepted methods of payment for registration fees and passport purchases.
c) All fees are subject to GST.
d) Payment using a Corporate or Personal Passport: registrations must be received two (2) weeks prior to the seminar date.
e) Early registration discount: registrations must be received two (2) weeks prior to the seminar date.
f) Member versus Non-Member Fees: You qualify for a Member Rate for ICAA sponsored seminars if you are a Canadian Chartered Accountant (CA) or a Member of the Certified Management Accountants of Alberta (CMA) who own or are employed with a registered Public Accounting Firm or Professional Service Provider that has their Practice Review completed by the ICAA's Practice Review Department.
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 seminar 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.
If you arrive late you are required to complete and sign the Late Arrival Form located at the registration table. This will ensure that you receive your CPD credits for the seminar. Otherwise, you will be considered as a “no show” and withdrawn from the seminar without credit or refund.
Due to printing requirements and seminar updates, materials cannot be distributed prior to the seminar date. Materials will be provided to the registrant appearing on the class list.
If you are a registered participant and are unable to attend, you are eligible to obtain your seminar materials, however, you will be responsible for any shipping or delivery charges after the seminar. Please contact Member Education.
Refunds will be granted upon receipt of written notification of cancelation more than five (5) business days before the seminar date. Cancellation of Registrations received less than ten (10) business days, before the seminar, will be subject to a $50 fee which must be paid prior to the transaction being completed.
Seminar changes occur when the same person transfers from one seminar to another (subject to availability). Written Seminar Change Requests will be accepted not less than five (5) business days, before the first seminar. Seminar Change Requests received less than ten (10) business days, before the seminar, will be subject to a $50 fee which must be paid prior to the transaction being completed. The Seminar Change Requests Form is available on-line.
Participant Substitution occurs when one person substitutes for another person in the same seminar. Participant Substitution requests must be received in writing three (3) business days before the start of the seminar.
Participant Substitutions without prior notice will ONLY be accepted on-site for participants using Corporate Passport tickets or cash (as Personal Passport tickets are non-transferable). Corporate Passport Participant Substitutions will require the new participant to complete and sign the Participant Substitution form obtained from Member Education onsite staff. The Participant Substitution Form is available on-line.
“No-Shows” are registrants who do not attend the seminar 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 contact us at: m.education@icaa.ab.ca
The Institute reserves the right to cancel seminars for any reason. Notice of cancelation 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
