How is it possible to get CPD units in the Philippines for a new CPA?
- Attending
- Get yourself registered in your local PICPA Chapter. They will ask for a membership fee and some personal information like you contact no. and email address. They’ll keep you posted if they’ll be conducting seminars
- You can also contact audit firms who conduct seminars (SGV, Punongbayan, etc.) and ask for their schedule of seminars. They would be more than happy to accomodate you.
- Being a speaker
- You need to comply with a lot of requirements (CPD, years practicing, BoA Accreditation, etc.) for you to do this one. Since you’re new, I won’t delve on this.
- Facilitating
- If you’re in public practice and your firm is conducting seminars, you can earn CPD unit just by facilitating the seminar. This is different from being a speaker - facilitators are the ones in the sidelines helping out in ensuring the seminar is conducted as it should be.
