CPD Courses

Our programme of CPD courses for accountants is designed to ensure you are kept up to date with the latest technical developments and practice management issues affecting the profession, no matter which accounting body you are associated with. Our accountancy training covers a wide range of areas, including auditing, financial reporting, tax and more.

Our 2010 CPD courses are broken down into three key areas. Click a topic below to jump to that section.

CPD Core
These key accountancy courses relate to the technical work that you provide to clients. They will help to ensure you remain up to date with new legislation and standards, and the impact these will have on your day-to-day work. Our core courses cover the key areas of audit, accounts and tax.

CPD Specialist and CPD Practice Management
CPD Specialist courses are for those requiring training in a more specialist area. Whether it be a specialist audit / reporting engagement or a detailed tax area, these courses will help ensure you are aware of current requirements and can apply that knowledge as effectively as possible.

CPD Practice Management courses are aimed at principals / senior staff in accountancy firms, and relate to running an accountancy practice as opposed to ‘technical’ training. Our practice management courses are presented by our most senior and experienced lecturers, each of whom has provided practice management consultancy to many firms, from dealing with staff issues to practice development. Many of the courses allow plenty of time for feedback and interaction to ensure you gain maximum benefit from the course.
