Your CPD Plan What should it include?
Every accountant’s plan will be different. It should address any areas where current skills or knowledge need strengthening and refreshing. It should also help with career progression, or, from an employer’s perspective, with filling gaps in skills and knowledge in the team as a whole. Even though CPD should be specific to each individual, we do still frequently get asked what topics to include, and despite not being able know every individual’s detailed needs, we do at least know what is most popular. Our success is based on our ability to predict what people need us to produce. For accountants in business, we base those predictions on what we see as the key drivers of business success and business change. If everyone in the finance team is good at what makes the business successful and you can cope with change on the front foot, then you will normally achieve your personal and organisational goals.
