Free CPD for Law, Accountancy and Banking from ACCA and FTA Ltd
Added: (Fri Feb 26 2010)
FTA Ltd and accountants’ body ACCA announce a partnership to make free CPD training material available to accountancy, law, banking and other professionals. The material is designed to appeal to those working as accountants, lawyers or bankers, or those working in similar professions.
According to Joanna Smith, business development director at FTA Ltd, the new CPD material “is designed to be of special appeal to those who work in financial services or advise on the purchase or sale of companies.
“For those who work in the law this is a chance to look over the fence at some of the biggest issues your clients worry about.”
“For other professionals, such as those who work in accountancy, banking or finance, this is a chance to reflect on issues you might advise on once in a while”.
The material consists of a short self study article together with an interactive multi-choice quiz and is designed to take approximately one hour.
“Depending on the CPD requirements of their own membership body, the time professionals spend studying this material should qualify for CPD points – all for free!”
Because of wide potential interest in the CPD material, FTA Ltd and ACCA have decided to make the training module available to interested professionals at no charge. ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is the world's largest international professional membership body for accountants. FTA Ltd is a specialist CPD course provider. The free CPD module can be found on ACCA's website at http://www.accaglobal.com/members/publications/accounting_business/CPD/debtfree and on FTA's website at “free CPD”.
