Continuous Professional
Development (CPD)



Back to Varsity

When last did you revisit the core principles and concepts of IFRS, Tax, the Companies Act and auditing??? Do you sometimes feel that “updates” don’t quite cover the essentials? But rather just what’s NEWLY required?

Let’s face it, CPD is not always an enjoyable task…
