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.

    Overall course was good, but it was not the best match for CPA professionals . the examples were for the basic life, but not for a business world, dealership example was an entry level solution of the problem. The tribal thinking is not always work when a client is upset , and it is a financial question in the horizon- such as penalty, tax owing , dissolving of the business. And sometimes you are the part of organization that caused the problem, so to say the client is not upset at you , is not recognition that you are not a part of collective responsibility, which it can be a part of your organization service , and the client has to get the results , which is in a way reinforcing the bad behavior which is a part of a mistake you or organization made. We see cranky clients as the part of their lifestyle in a business world. We have to make sure we solve the problem and keep the client
