The Companies Act and Bankruptcy Act require a person to be a public accountant in order to act as a judicial manager and trustee in bankruptcy respectively.  ACRA has registered public accountants for the specific purpose of becoming judicial managers and/or trustees in bankruptcy.  These public accountants are not allowed to perform audit services without the prior approval of the Public Accountants Oversight Committee.
