ACCA CPD

ACCA CPD

Didn't find your answer?

How do you manage to complete the compulsory CPD points when you don't work in Practice and your employer doesn't have a budget for training (or allow time off for training)? Is it possible to do this with reading and work based learning or will I need to fund some courses myself?

Thanks

Trainer get CPD points
So, I better be trainer and get much much more CPD points so as to maintain my professional membership, am I right?

Let's say, I have two days training a week, 'presumably' OK. In 52 weeks, I have 104 days training, equal to 364 CPD hours.

What if I train more days a week? I will hit the guiness book of records as professional member.

Internal training
The above also counts as accredited training.

Fund it yourself!
As I'm sure you know, practitioners have always had to complete structured CPD - and the only way was to pay for it ourselves. The principle has just been extended to employees (officially ACCA would say there is more it than that).

Don't forget that the CPD has to be ACCA accredited, not just confined to courses run by ACCA. So you can shop around (personally, though, I find the ACCA courses good value).

And employees incurring CPD costs should be able to claim this as 'an expense incurred in doing their job' for tax purposes. Although I haven't read anything specific on this subject so might be shot down in flames!

Cost effective CPD

If you want cost effective and verifiable CPD - why not try it via e-learning.

There's lots on offer now the market for CPD is more developed.

At Financial Fluency there's a good range of courses on offer at reasonable prices. You may even find it more effective than traditional face-to-face CPD courses.
