Try LumiQ for freeCPD hours vary by course. Typically they range from 1 to 2 hours per podcast and 3 to 9 hours for an in-depth, multi-episode learning path. Each course listing clearly displays the hours you'll earn on completion. All hours are earned once you listen to the podcast episode in full and pass the chapter quizzes.
UK financial reporting and audit standards move constantly. Structured, verifiable CPD can help you stay compliant and technically sharp as UK-adopted IFRS, FRS 102 (UK and Ireland GAAP) and the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs, UK), are updated. The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is the UK's competent authority for audit, sets UK accounting and auditing standards, and inspects audit quality, so staying current directly protects your firm and your clients.
Requirements vary by professional body:
ICAEW: Total annual CPD hours depend on your CPD category (from 20 hours with 10 verifiable up to 40 hours with 30 verifiable), plus a mandatory minimum of 1 verifiable hour of ethics CPD each year. Members in audit and other regulated roles may fall into higher categories with more verifiable hours.
ACCA: The standard route is 40 units of CPD per year (1 unit = 1 hour), of which at least 21 units must be verifiable.
CIOT and ATT: Since 1 January 2023 there is no fixed minimum-hours requirement- members undertake CPD appropriate to their duties and self-certify annually.
