Amanda Zhou –
Thank you very much. It is a very informative programme. I like it is being ethical focus.
Joanne Villiers –
I really enjoy the variety of information presented. My only critique is the focus on accountants in public practice, even though the information is also very relevant for accountants in commerce as well. If the test questions and focus was a little more balanced I would give 5 stars (and the half star deduction is very small!)
Joel Krautz –
Always relevant and timely updates, easy to navigate and complete

Easily digestible updates
Debra Cairns –
I found the CPD programme valuable, though I didn’t start at the beginning of the year. That meant I had to work quickly to complete modules in time, which added a bit of pressure. That said, the structure is clear, and the content is relevant, especially having a programme tailored for the Australian market. I’d recommend registering early to stay ahead and make the most of the monthly rhythm.

Good program. Diverse range of content. Good overview and thought provoking.
Joanne Villiers –
I really enjoyed this format of learning. The content is generally pitched at accountants in public practice, which I am not, but with only about one exception, the topics had application for accountants in commerce as well and I found it a very useful summary of a range of interesting subjects.
