How much ethics CPD do I need?

In Canada, your CPD requirements are set by your provincial CPA body. In many provinces, CPAs must complete 120 CPD hours over a rolling three-year period, including 60 verifiable hours—and at least 4 verifiable hours in professional ethics. Make sure you follow your province’s specific requirements and renewal cycle.

Are LumiQ courses accepted by Canadian CPA bodies?

LumiQ is a CPD provider and issues a certificate of completion for each course, which you can use as documentation for verifiable CPD reporting. Since CPD reporting is provincial, you’re still responsible for confirming the activity meets your provincial CPA body’s rules—but LumiQ is built to align with common 'verifiable' CPD documentation expectations.

What is the difference between general ethics and province-specific ethics courses?

General ethics courses cover universal ethical principles and professional conduct (often aligned to the CPA profession’s code/rules of professional conduct). Province-specific ethics courses focus on provincial legislation, regulatory expectations, and guidance from your provincial CPA body. Depending on your province, you may need ethics CPD that’s verifiable and/or includes certain content types.

What topics are covered in an ethics CPD course?

It varies. Some CPA ethics courses review principles and rules; others use case studies to explore ethical behavior and ethical conduct in real situations. Topics can include independence, fraud, whistleblowing, and internal control issues—plus how internal audit can help prevent breakdowns.

Why are podcasts becoming a popular choice over webinars for ethics CPD?

Podcasts can be easier to retain than live webinars and recorded webcasts, with less “Zoom fatigue.” You can pause and replay complex ethical dilemmas as needed, and earn CPD during commutes or between meetings—better learning, fewer scheduling constraints.

Can I earn free CPE credits?

Yes. LumiQ offers a free trial that includes 3 free credits to help you experience the platform before committing to a subscription.

Yes. LumiQ is available on both iOS and Android mobile devices through dedicated apps available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
