How to Prepare to be on a Board of a Non-Profit Organization
Serving on the Board of Directors of a not-for-profit organization is a rewarding way to contribute your time, skills, and perspective—while gaining valuable leadership experience. This course highlights the personal and professional benefits of board service and guides you through the due diligence process to help you find a well-functioning board that aligns with your interests and availability.
If you’re already serving on a board, this course will help you assess both your effectiveness as a director and the overall performance of your board. The module includes a 45-minute presentation and a 10–15-minute guided exercise to help you evaluate governance practices and identify opportunities for improvement.

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.
