A Confirmation of Income Letter from an Accountant is a crucial document used in various financial and legal contexts within the Canadian jurisdiction. It serves as an official verification of income issued by a qualified Chartered Professional Accountant, typically required for mortgage applications, immigration processes, court proceedings, or other situations requiring third-party income verification. The document must comply with provincial accounting regulations and federal privacy laws, while meeting the professional standards set by Canadian CPA bodies. The letter includes detailed income information, the scope of financial review, and professional declarations. It's particularly important that the accountant issuing the letter has reviewed appropriate documentation and maintains professional liability insurance, as these letters are often relied upon for significant financial or legal decisions.
