• Newsletter The CEAA newsletter, "The Auditorial" is published quarterly. This periodical contains up-to-date information regarding the work of the Association as well as the development of the profession.

• Conference The CEAA member will have access at reduced rates to the annual meeting and technical conference. This is a two-day event held in a major Canadian city each Fall. The conference features presentations of leading edge technologies by presenters who are senior in their fields of endeavour.

• Directory Each year the CEAA publishes a Membership Directory containing the name, address, and communication co-ordinates of each CEAA member as well as their designation status.

• Participation Each CEAA member will have the ability to participate as a volunteer on a Standing Committee or, through an election process, as a Director of the Association. Tenure as a Director often leads to a position of Senior Officer. The volunteers find satisfaction in contributing to the day to day operation of the Association and developing a cross-Canada network of professional acquaintances.

• Liability Insurance Members of the CEAA have access to liability insurance at group rates through a carrier approved by the Association.
