ABOUT CPD
What is CPD?
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) encompasses the ongoing education that accountants must undertake to sustain their qualifications throughout their careers.
Regardless of the professional body to which you belong, engaging in CPD is mandatory. While the requisite hours may vary, certain professional bodies impose specific topic requirements. As an accountant, it is incumbent upon you to be cognizant of these obligations and ensure annual fulfilment.
CPD ensures accountants stay abreast of industry advancements, enhancing their professional competence. It fosters continuous learning, enabling accountants to adapt to evolving regulations and technologies. Additionally, CPD promotes career growth by expanding skill sets and knowledge, making accountants more versatile and valuable.
Failure to meet CPD requirements may result in consequences such as fines, suspension of membership, or limitations on the ability to practice. It's crucial to be aware of and fulfill the CPD obligations set by your professional accounting body.
The number of CPD hours required varies by professional accounting body, so it's important to check with your specific regulatory body or organization to determine the exact requirements.
Policies regarding carrying forward CPD hours vary by jurisdiction and professional body. It's advisable to check with your regulatory body to understand their specific rules on carrying forward CPD hours.
