The
Institute conducted an online survey in November last year to seek the
views of our members regarding CPD events, to better understand
members' CPD needs and to find out the most effective ways of
communication channels with members on CPD activities. We
received valuable feedback from about 1,300 members. The result shows
that the most preferred CPD event format is 1-2 hour face-to-face
seminars and the top 3 competency topics of most interest to our
members are Financial Accounting and Reporting; Taxation and Business
Finance. The detailed results of the survey will inform the Institute's
future CPD plans. Thank you to all those members who participated.
The highlights of CPD seminars for this month:
An
