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 courses should have the CC option, not all audio is understood. i like that the course had a good example of fraud and showed what could happen and what should have happened to prevent the fraud. overall a good course

This was interesting and relevant. I am a small business owner, a former external auditor, a former board member, and a consultant to various businesses. This course gave me something to think about for each of these roles.
The most interesting ethics course I've taken. Full of useful facts, fraud statistics and real-life case examples.
