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.

About

Description

The CPA Technical Update Package [2026] is a comprehensive, practice-focused CPD collection designed to keep accounting and finance professionals current in a rapidly evolving technical and regulatory environment. With ongoing changes in tax legislation, the rise of AI-driven tools, and increasing expectations around governance and ethics, professionals are required to integrate technical expertise with sound judgement and modern analytical capability.

This package delivers a balanced mix of technical updates, practical tools, and forward-looking insights. It equips CPAs with the knowledge needed to respond to 2026 tax developments, strengthen financial analysis and reporting processes, enhance risk and control frameworks, and apply emerging technologies responsibly within professional practice. Each session is designed to be immediately applicable, supporting both day-to-day execution and longer-term strategic decision-making.

Key topics covered in this package include:

  • Canadian Income Tax 2026 updates, including changes from the November 2025 federal budget, employee ownership trusts, capital gains, and the general anti-avoidance rule.
  • Advanced Excel automation and analysis tools, focusing on dynamic PivotTables, Power Query, and complex data validation to streamline financial reporting.
  • A coach approach to navigating ethical dilemmas, grounded in the IESBA fundamental principles to foster clarity and ethical courage.
  • Practical methodologies for conducting risk-level risk assessments, building a risk universe, and mapping risks to internal controls to audit smarter.
  • Forward-looking ethics and corporate compliance strategies for 2026, encompassing AI governance, whistleblowing, and proactive risk prevention.
  • Techniques for setting and managing performance expectations, utilizing the SMART framework and shifting to an ongoing coaching model to drive accountability.
  • The deployment of Agentic AI in professional services, detailing the differences between generative and agentic systems, governance considerations, and practical workflow automation.
  • Financial statements forensics, providing investigative tools to uncover hidden fraud, assess operational bias, and evaluate warning signs in cash flows and corporate disclosures.

By combining technical updates with essential leadership and investigative techniques, this package ensures professionals are fully prepared to uphold integrity, maximize efficiency, and deliver strategic value in their organizations and client engagements.
