CPD Tracker

Overview

Every qualified accountant and tax adviser must keep their knowledge up to date, and each professional body has its own CPD year, its own minimum hours and its own rules on what counts as verifiable. On top of that, a regulated firm has compulsory training to keep current – anti-money laundering, ethics, data protection, cyber security and more. This tracker brings all of it together: one log of every CPD activity, measured against each person's requirement for their own CPD year, a firm-wide matrix of compulsory training with expiry dates, development plans, the training budget and a two-page CPD record you can print for the file, an appraisal or a professional body review.
