Article Abstract:

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants gathered together a group to study the new field of environmetal auditing and the roles chartered accountants (CA) can play. The group's report defined the term 'audit' as a service to establish the extent to which verifiable information conforms with established criteria. The group further classified examination services under environmental consulting services, site assessments, operational compliance assessments and environmental management system assessments. It also stressed issues that need to be clarified to facilitate CA contributions to the field.
