VSCPA CPE Podcast Learning Paths for Virginia CPAs | LumiQ
Virginia CPAs can now purchase LumiQ's CPE podcast learning paths through the Virginia Society of CPAs (VSCPA). A learning path is a curated set of podcast episodes on a single topic, built so you can go deep on one subject instead of piecing credits together episode by episode. The goal is simple: CPE credit from conversations you'll actually remember.
The VSCPA lineup includes nine learning paths, from AI fundamentals to private equity. Here's what each one covers and who it's built for.
The VSCPA learning paths
AI Foundations
Start here if AI still feels like a black box. This path explains how machine learning, generative AI, and natural language processing actually work, then gets practical with Copilot prompting. It closes on the ethics and biases every professional should weigh before relying on AI output. It's designed for accountants and finance leaders who want a solid grounding in AI.

AI in Strategic Finance

Each episode pairs a real use case with the decisions behind it. It's designed for finance professionals ready to move from AI basics to strategic application.

Audit Nightmares
Some of the best audit lessons come from audits that went wrong. LumiQ's resident auditors walk through real failures in expenses, revenue recognition, bank confirmations, inventory counts, and related party transactions. Each case breaks down the assertions at risk and how to sharpen your professional skepticism. It's designed for current and former auditors.
