Welcome to the Essentials CPD Virtual 2023 Programme
Watch | Learn | Grow 

This year's enhanced programme consists of 39 individual courses, devised around technical core topics and updates covering titles across Audit and Assurance, Financial Reporting, Charity, Legal, Practice and Tax. This year we have added Tech and Data to our offering for the first time.

Designed, written and delivered by leading subject matter experts, the Essentials CPD programme will provide you and your team with technical know-how, and meet your individual annual CPD requirement.

All the courses in the Essentials programme are delivered by live webinar, with dedicated Q&A sessions, providing the opportunity to interact with the speaker and to discuss real-life scenarios.

All the webinars are recorded and made available to view via on-demand, providing the convenient CPD solution for the busy finance professional, in practice, industry and the charity sector.

The programme is relevant to ICAEW members and also to non-members, and is accessible to all finance professionals.

The full list of courses can be found via the drop down menu.
