CPD 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.
Finance roles have widened well beyond financial accounting and financial reporting. Chartered accountants and management accountants are now expected to lead budgeting and forecasting, interpret financial markets, manage FX and interest rate risk, assess ESG and sustainability disclosures and advise on corporate finance decisions.
Continuing professional development in finance keeps those skills current, and because UK CPD is output-based, learning that sharpens the financial analysis you do every week is precisely what your professional body wants you to record.
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 every year.
ACCA: The standard route is 40 units of CPD per year (1 unit = 1 hour), of which at least 21 units must be verifiable.
CIMA: CPD is mandatory and outcome-based. CIMA does not prescribe hours or CPD points; members follow the CIMA CPD cycle each year, keep records and may be selected for monitoring.
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.
If you work in regulated financial services, check your firm's training and competence requirements as well.
If you are searching for the best CPD accredited finance courses in the UK, it helps to know that UK accountancy bodies do not accredit CPD providers and do not require CPD to come from a CPD certified source. ICAEW, ACCA and CIMA all ask members to choose relevant learning and evidence it. LumiQ supports that with a CPD certificate for every episode, stating the verifiable CPD hours earned, so you can record hours, units or points in whatever format your body uses.
