Guidelines on continuing professional education (CPE)

Article Abstract:

Continuing professional education (CPE) provides a means for chartered accountants to remain professionally competent in a constantly evolving technical and professional environment. The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales encourages all of its members to be committed to CPE, although there are certain members for whom PCE is compulsary. These include those members who are applying for entitlement to practice, applying for fellowship, acting as training supervisors in Institute-authorized training offices, and involved in the reserved ares of audit, insolvency and investment business. Procedures in achieving, recording and reporting CPE are briefly discussed. Examples of activities that fall under the structured CPE and the unstructured CPE categories, as well as those that do not fall under either category, are given.

The land of the CPA

Article Abstract:

The training, testing, and certification of US certified public accountants (CPAs) is detailed, with emphasis on how this differs from the British system. American university education emphasizes vocational training for immediate work force placement, while the British system promotes a well-rounded approach. The majority of US CPAs complete only an undergraduate accounting degree, and then must pass a uniform CPA examination to qualify for practice. Some state boards or authorities require two years of post-graduate work experience before certification can take place. Few first-time candidates pass the CPA exam, but candidates for positions in Big Eight or national companies are expected to pass in no more than three attempts.
