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.
Very interesting and thought provoking point of view. The benefits of the approach are well laid out. It does feel however that the soft skills are being presented as more important than the hard skills
Presenter was very good. She was clear and concise, did not stutter or stumble. The ideas she presents make sense but we need to be reminded because we often get caught up in the rush of each day and each project and sometimes forget our clients are waiting and wanting feedback from us.
Very useful tips and relates well to my financial consulting services to a mid-size client in the construction industry.
Good look at Professional Services, specific to the CPA and creating lasting relationships with your clients by understanding their needs and perspectives.
