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.

    A professional is talking about his experiences, providing the relevant references, warnings and suggestions. Good for both employers and employees. I enjoyed the way information was delivered as well as its content. I hope there will be more of these kinds of courses at CPDFormula

    Very good content, obviously the speaker is knowledgeable and experienced in the field. The reference material would have been nice to be included as a downloadable content as it wasn't spoken to in the presentation but is a nice aside to have. It's great as a part of a 4-part series. It would be worthwhile to getting new updates every year or few years as new issues come up.

    It gives you things to think about. Hiring someone is not always straight forward.
