Academic Integrity

The CPA profession takes academic integrity—including plagiarism—very seriously. Learners who engage in behaviour that is inconsistent with the Academic Integrity rules of the CPA profession may face disciplinary action. 
Examples of academic integrity infractions include but are not limited to the following:

• Plagiarism on assignments and exams 
• Plagiarism on practical experience reports 
• Violation of examination rules 
• Cheating during examinations 

When enrolled in CPA education, learners agree to a training contract, that includes declarations about plagiarism. Further information about academic integrity can be found in the CPAWSB Learner Conduct Guide. 

The Academic Integrity Resource Centre contains the following resources for all CPAWSB learners to better understand the importance of academic integrity during their CPA studies:
