Yes. In the UK, CPD is not limited to technical subjects. Personal development, leadership, communication, professionalism, wellbeing and other personal skills, is a recognised, valuable part of continuing professional development for accountants and finance professionals, supporting both professional growth and career progression. It can form part of your verifiable CPD where you can evidence the activity and how you applied the learning. This sits alongside other CPD activities the professional bodies recognise such as seminars, webinars, mentoring and informal CPD, all of which contribute to your CPD cycle.
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. Relevant personal-development learning can count toward your total CPD.
ACCA: The standard route is 40 units of CPD per year (1 unit = 1 hour), of which at least 21 units must be verifiable. Development that is relevant to your role — including personal and professional skills — can count.
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.
