CPE (Continuing Professional Education) and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) are terms utilized to depict ongoing learning for professionals. Both are crucial for accounting professionals to stay relevant and meet industry standards. Many organizations and regulatory bodies require members to engage in CPE or CPD.
CPE is specific to certain professions, like accounting or tax, and involves activities to stay current and meet certification requirements. It's measured in hours or credits.
CPD is a broader term covering various fields, including workshops, conferences, online courses, networking, and self-directed learning.
Continuing Professional Education (CPE) or Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is customarily pursued by accounting professionals to uphold their contemporary knowledge and skill sets.
To uphold professional competency and ensure diligent conduct, a professional accountant is obligated to engage in CPE learning activities pertinent to their present and prospective work responsibilities. The mandate for CPE applies universally to all accounting professionals, irrespective of the sector or scale of the business in which they are engaged.
