This course introduces Root Cause Analysis (RCA), a structured approach to identifying the underlying causes of problems and process gaps. You’ll explore key tools and techniques to uncover why issues occur, not just what happened on the surface.
Participants will also learn how to evaluate the impact of possible solutions, weighing the risks of taking action versus doing nothing. This course is ideal for anyone involved in problem-solving, quality improvement, or operational efficiency.

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.
