Michael Pawley’s take on day-to-day corporate finance

Staying on top of CPD

I’ve been thinking about CPD over the last few weeks and how best to most effectively keep myself updated.

Attending the occasional seminar or conference, reading the technical press, scouring the web for particular information – it all adds to my professional skillbase but I’m keen to make this process more structured.

For those of us working in SME’s who are often working on our own and not with other accountants there’s a real need to have a cost-effective, reliable method.

So I’m looking at some of the web-based CPD packages at the moment to see whether they fit the bill – it strikes me that there’s a real gap in the market that the professional firms could fill by supplying something like this or a regular seminar programme for their clients.

It’s all very well running the annual Budget Seminar but, I don’t know what you think, but I’d be prepared to pay an annual subscription for a locally delivered high quality Professional Update running to an annual programme.
