Learn Tools and Techniques for Throughput Accounting & Lean Accounting
The purpose of management accounting is to support informed decision-making and performance management across an organization. This course explores two powerful, process-focused approaches within management accounting: Throughput Accounting and Lean Accounting. Both methods align with flow-based operational strategies and offer tools tailored to organizations committed to continuous improvement and value creation.
Learners will gain a solid grounding in the Theory of Constraints (TOC), the principles behind Throughput Accounting, and the practical application of Lean Accounting tools. Key topics include performance measures, accounting transactions in lean environments, and the impact of both approaches on financial statements and business decisions. Ideal for management accountants and financial professionals, this course delivers a fresh perspective on how to better align accounting practices with operational 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).
