Learn how boardrooms work including who should be a director, which discussions to have, and how to make better decision.
Learn how the boardroom functions and become a more effective director and/or executive supporting a Board of Directors. A strong Board of Directors presents any organization with the opportunity to achieve a point of competitive differentiation, yet sadly, the reality is just the opposite - boards that are overly cautious and caught up in the semantics of governing.
Executives and directors should be working cooperatively to maximize the contribution of their board and individual directors. These collective talents can meaningfully improve strategic management, leadership development, and organizational performance.

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.
