Common questions about AI CPD.
Try LumiQ for freeAI CPD courses help Canadian CPAs and finance teams build practical skills for using artificial intelligence in real workflows, especially in data analysis, audit and assurance, tax research, and decision support. The objective is to develop informed judgment about where AI fits, what risks it introduces, and how to apply it responsibly in professional practice.
AI CPD courses commonly cover:
Generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT) and prompting fundamentals
Machine learning concepts and what “models” can (and can’t) do
Practical automation use cases in accounting and FP&A
AI in audit planning, risk assessment, and testing
AI for tax research, documentation, and workflow acceleration
KPI analysis and decision-making support
Governance topics like ethical AI, privacy, cybersecurity, and internal controls
Responsible AI use starts with clear guardrails:
Avoid sharing confidential client or company data in public tools
Validate outputs and document assumptions—treat AI as a draft, not an authority
Maintain segregation of duties and review controls for AI-assisted work
Consider governance: approvals, monitoring, and model-risk thinking
In practice, the best results come when AI tools are used as a “thought partner” to accelerate and extend human capabilities while human judgment remains accountable for the final work product.
LumiQ’s AI in finance courses are designed to be applied. You’ll hear real examples across accounting, audit, and tax. Like using AI to speed up research, improve interview prep, or triage exceptions in large datasets. If you’re used to a live CPD webinar or a one-time AI training session, on-demand audio makes it easier to learn consistently without scheduling around a virtual event.
Podcasts can deliver superior learning outcomes compared to live webinars and recorded webcasts. Audio-only formats reduce cognitive overload and "Zoom fatigue," allowing your brain to retain information better. Additionally, unlike live or in-person options, you can pause and replay complex concepts as needed for comprehension.
Podcasts also fit your schedule and your life better. Unlike live webinars with fixed start times, podcasts let you earn CPD during your commute, between clients, or whenever works best.
In short, you get the same credit hours with better retention and zero scheduling conflicts.
CPD credits vary by course. Typically they range from 1 to 2 hours per podcast and 3 to 9 hours for our in-depth, multi-episode learning paths. Each course listing clearly displays the credits you'll earn upon completion. All credits are earned once you complete the podcast episode in full and pass the final assessment.
LumiQ courses meet verifiable CPD requirements for accounting professionals worldwide, including Canada, UK, Australia and more. Your certificate of completion documents the professional development hours earned and can be used to support CPD reporting with your provincial CPA body.
Because CPD requirements and acceptance can vary by jurisdiction and member circumstances, confirm your local CPD rules to ensure a specific course meets your requirements.
LumiQ provides documentation (including certificates of completion) to support verifiable CPD reporting.
