Unlock profitable growth by mastering comprehensive business analysis. Identify root causes, assess performance across markets, operations, and investments, and develop action plans.
Profitability Analytics is a framework for reviewing the costs, revenues, and performance of an organization and, in particular, its strengths, weaknesses, risks, and opportunities for improvement. Profitability Analytics has its roots in the Du Pont Profit Tree of financial indicators developed 100 years ago, but it also combines analysis of an organization’s performance in marketing, operations, and investment.
Markets and business practices are changing rapidly, and organizations need to regularly assess how well they are doing, where their strengths and weaknesses lie, and how they could improve. Profitability Analytics is a useful framework for this. It explores the performance of an organization from strategy through to delivery and management.
Profitability Analytics provides a robust framework combining data analysis with the exploration of the issues identified by the people in the organization to identify root causes and help the organization develop strategies to address those problems.

The course is aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises, but the key elements and principles apply to organizations of all sizes. This course aims to inspire participants to examine their own organization’s performance in marketing, operations, and resource investment.

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.
