Registration Appeals

Under Section 34 of the Regulated Accounting Profession Act (RAPA) a decision of the Registrar or Registration Committee which places conditions on registration, defers registration, or refuses registration, may be appealed by a complainant to an appeal tribunal.

Under section 108 of RAPA a person can appeal the decision  by sending a written notice of appeal which must explain (a) what is being appealed; (b) why the appeal is being made; (c) what results are sought from the appeal.

The Institute must receive the notice of appeal within 30 days from the date of service of the decision of the Registrar or Registration Committee was received.

An Appeal Tribunal appointed by the Appeal Tribunal Roster Chair hears the applicant's appeal. The appellant and the Registrar or Registration Committee are parties to the appeal and may present arguments to the Appeal Tribunal.
