Consent to Reprimand: Amanda Boudreau, CPA, CMA

Summary of Complaint and Investigation

A complaint was initiated by the CEO of CPA Nova Scotia against Amanda Boudreau, CPA, CMA (the “Respondent”), practicing through the then-unregistered firm, Boudreau Accounting & Management Consulting Inc. The complaint alleged that the Respondent offered services through an unregistered firm since 2020, issued compilation engagements since 2020 without being subject to practice inspection, issued agreed-upon procedures engagements without a license since 2023, and issued compilation engagement reports without a license since October 1, 2024. An Investigation Panel was appointed and undertook an investigation into the allegations.

Disposition

The investigation found evidence that the Respondent failed to comply with certain licensing and registration requirements as alleged. It also found evidence that the Respondent did not intend to violate such requirements. The Respondent cooperated and complied with all directions from CPA Nova Scotia during the investigation process relating to registration requirements and completed required professional development courses on compilation and tax.

The Investigation Panel concluded that there is sufficient evidence that the Respondent’s conduct in this matter, if proven at a hearing, would constitute professional misconduct meriting a disciplinary outcome. It determined that it is in the public interest to resolve the matter with a consensual Reprimand with the Respondent pursuant to By-law 8.7.5.3.3. The Respondent admitted that the conduct at issue constitutes misconduct and consented to a Reprimand, effective January 5, 2026.
