Commenting on the first-time collaboration, ICATT general manager Esther Le Gendre said, “Trinidad and Tobago continues to enjoy long-standing relations with Canada in the sphere of international business. ICATT has also maintained a cordial working relationship with the Canadian accounting designations, now all under the umbrella of CPA Canada. We therefore welcome the ongoing partnership and encourage professionals, beyond the accounting field, to attend and benefit from this seminar and the experience offered by Mr Knowles.”
