Master critical 2026 updates in assurance, compliance, and ethics to ace practice inspections. Future-proof your CPA firm by navigating new standards and emerging AI fraud risks.
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 10 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 PAL Package for CPAs in Public Practice (2026) offers a comprehensive exploration of the most critical regulatory updates, ethical challenges, and technological shifts facing the accounting profession today. As regulatory bodies take a tougher approach to inspections and new technologies reshape the financial landscape, maintaining robust quality management and adapting to evolving standards is essential for professional excellence.
This package provides an in-depth review of recent changes to Canadian Auditing Standards, including extensive revisions to fraud and going concern assessments, as well as the latest amendments to ASPE and ASPO accounting standards. The sessions explore practical guidance on complex areas such as the measurement of goodwill, cloud computing arrangements, and revenue recognition, while also detailing how to design efficient, risk-based audit tests that optimize evidence gathering and withstand scrutiny.
Beyond traditional accounting and assurance updates, this collection delves heavily into compliance and practice management. It covers the crucial requirements of the new Quality Management Standards, offering strategies for building documented systems and surviving practice inspections. It also addresses the specific compliance challenges of compilation engagements in their fourth year, alongside critical Anti-Money Laundering and FINTRAC obligations tailored for small and medium-sized firms.
Finally, the package addresses the modern frontier of financial risks by merging professional ethics with advanced fraud detection. It tackles complex ethical dilemmas, internal reporting pressures, and the rising threat of artificial intelligence. Sessions examine the impact of deepfakes and synthetic media in financial fraud, the ethical responsibilities of working with AI, and the proactive mapping of internal control failures to prevent systemic organizational breakdowns.
Major topics covered in this 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.
