CPAs in Canada require Continuing Professional Development to maintain their designation. Browse courses that meet your requirements, or choose one of our course packages, specially curated to contain all the hours and credits you need, in one place. The courses on CPDFormula may count towards professionally relevant, verifiable learning activities. It is the CPA's responsibility to validate whether an activity is an eligible educational activity for their professional development requirements based on their own learning needs.
CPD Requirements – Chartered Professional Accountants of New Brunswick (CPA New Brunswick)
Annual CPD Requirements
All CPA New Brunswick members (unless formally exempt) must complete a minimum of 20 CPD hours each calendar year (January 1 to December 31). At least 50% of the annual minimum (10 hours) must be verifiable.
Rolling Three-Year Requirements
Members must complete 120 CPD hours in each rolling three-year period, including at least 60 verifiable hours. Each rolling three-year period must also include 4 verifiable hours in professional ethics.
Eligible CPD Activities
CPD must be relevant to professional responsibilities and CPA competencies, quantifiable in hours, and contain significant intellectual or practical content. Common eligible activities include instructor-led courses, webinars, conferences/seminars, formal education programs, exams, and instruction/speaking in relevant subject areas. Activities that are not professionally relevant (e.g., personal-interest learning) generally do not qualify.
It is up to the professional to determine whether the activity qualifies as eligible towards their CPD requirements.
Course / Provider Accreditation
CPA New Brunswick does not require CPD providers or individual courses to be formally accredited or approved. Members may complete CPD from a range of providers, provided the activity meets CPA New Brunswick's CPD rules and the member can retain appropriate evidence of completion. LearnFormula is not affiliated with or related to the Provincial CPA bodies.
Reporting, Record-Keeping & Audit
Members submit a CPD declaration annually and must meet the declaration deadline of March 31 following the calendar year. Members must keep CPD records and supporting documentation for at least five years in case of audit.
