Mitigating Barriers to Indigenous Learners Findings and Recommendations

The research project named, ‘Hearing Indigenous Voices - Mitigating the Challenges and Barriers to the Accounting Profession faced by Indigenous People,’ was commissioned by CPA Canada in recognition of the need for more Indigenous CPAs.
