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.
You already know what you need to do. The package collapses every step into one purchase.
Structured around your CPD requirements.
Most providers issue you a stack of 8 separate PDFs. We issue one consolidated certificate that lists every topic, hours per topic, and totals — exactly what your professional body needs to file. Per-course certificates are still available if you prefer.
Each course is a standalone module.
The Fraud & Internal Controls for CPAs package delivers an in-depth curriculum designed for accounting and finance professionals seeking to strengthen organizational defenses, design resilient internal control systems, and navigate complex ethical challenges. As business environments grow increasingly complex, CPAs must be equipped to address sophisticated fraud schemes, evolving digital threats, and the behavioral dynamics that impact compliance and decision-making.
This package provides comprehensive coverage of the entire internal control lifecycle. It explores foundational frameworks—including COSO, COBIT, and ISO/IEC 27001—and guides professionals through the design of strong, practical controls using defined criteria, clear ownership, and Risk & Control Matrices. The curriculum details methodologies for testing design and operating effectiveness, employing data analytics to identify outliers, evaluating residual risk, and applying structured root cause analysis techniques such as the 5 Whys, Fishbone, and Bowtie models to remediate control deficiencies.
In addition to internal control design and testing, the package delivers targeted insights into modern fraud detection, prevention, and investigation. It examines the Fraud Triangle, asset misappropriation, corruption, and the risks posed by management override and collusion. Participants also explore specialized toolkits for confronting cyber-enabled financial crime and synthetic deception, including invoice diversion, mule accounts, cryptocurrency transactions, AI-generated impersonation, voice cloning, and document verification workflows.
Complementing technical control and fraud mechanisms, the package addresses the human and psychological factors that influence professional integrity. Through the analysis of real-world disciplinary cases, cognitive biases, neurological threat responses, and the Ladder of Inference, the material provides practical frameworks for sustaining professional skepticism, managing difficult ethical conversations, and upholding rigorous governance standards.
Key topics covered across the package include:
If it's not the right fit, you have 10 days to request a refund. Any certificates you earn remain valid for the duration of your active package.
