About This Course

You love movies. You enjoy TV. You read books. That's why this is the webinar for you.

The best works in popular culture provide valuable lessons on how to live your life well. Sometimes they show what not to do, which is just as important. A good story well told is the best way to learn what it means to be both a successful CPA and an honorable human being.

This dynamic presentation for one CPD credit in ethics will provide you with a list of recommended movies, TV shows and books that are enjoyable, provocative (in the best way), and guaranteed to yield rich dividends.

Bruce received his B.A. in philosophy from Swarthmore College and an M.A. and Ph.D. in philosophy with a concentration in bioethics from Georgetown University and the Kennedy Institute of Ethics. The W. K. Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek, Michigan awarded Bruce a National Fellowship in Leadership Development. He lives in New York City with his wife Kristen Bancroft, a compliance professional in the financial services industry. To relax Bruce enjoys playing music (guitar, harmonica, and drums), visiting national parks with his wife, and trying to figure out the plot of "The Godfather."

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
