With a new year almost upon us, now is the perfect time to think about your professional development needs for 2024. ICAS offers a wealth of resources, from technical articles to courses, conferences and more, in formats to suit your needs
CPD courses
Whether you need a two-hour virtual course on IFRS developments, a half-day update on tax and reporting or a two-day comprehensive course on financial modelling, we have more than 200 CPD courses to choose from – so there will definitely be something for you, your team or your organisation.
Our CPD courses cover a broad spectrum of topics and specialisms, and with flexible online delivery formats, such as our live and on-demand courses, you can choose the learning method that works best for you.
Specialist qualifications
Our selection of specialist qualifications will help to keep you up to date, develop your expertise and take your career to the next level by giving you an edge over the competition. The diploma and certificate programmes we offer through our partnership with Chartered Accountants Ireland are designed for CAs, finance professionals and non-specialists who want to improve their understanding of finance.
Events and conferences
The ICAS events programme brings together leading speakers from across the profession and wider business. Connect and network with your peers while keeping up to date with the latest developments in accountancy. Look out for our weekly events email, with news on the latest online or in-person events in your area.
Webinars
Our live webinars feature expert speakers addressing core subjects, from updates on reporting, ethics and tax to leadership tips. We also maintain a library of recordings of past webinars – such as the recent “Ethical governance: dilemmas and trade-offs” – including complimentary pre-recorded content available to ICAS members. Whether you listen live or on demand, webinars can count towards your CPD.
Podcasts
Listen to CAs discuss their careers, specialist subjects and passion projects on the ICAS podcast.
Professional resources
The professional resources hub hosts a wealth of technical information, news and essential updates. It offers a range of services and resources, with information on a variety of technical subjects such as audit and assurance, pensions, tax and insolvency. From the latest research to new findings in your field, we’ll help to keep you updated and informed. And by staying abreast of current developments, you’ll also be fulfilling your CPD requirement.
Professional ethics
As a qualified CA, you are bound by the ICAS Code of Ethics and have to take personal responsibility for the maintenance of the highest ethical standards throughout your career. All ICAS members are also required to undertake ethics CPD every year.
CA magazine
We aim to keep you interested and informed no matter where you are and in ways that fit with your busy lifestyle. Our award-winning CA magazine is packed with high-quality, thought-provoking content, from features with high-profile figures to technical updates. It is digitally optimised to provide an engaging experience, no matter your device or location.
Mentoring
By connecting with a professional mentor, you can gain an invaluable opportunity to learn, collaborate and boost your professional development. And whether you’re looking to move up the ladder, make a change of direction or start your own business, we offer a range of mentoring opportunities – including our virtual career mentoring platform – to help you take that next step.
