This Issue's News Theme: CPE
Last minute CPE credits: Where to find them
For those certified public accountants (CPAs) who are nearing the end of their reporting period and need to accumulate a few CPE credits, or professionals who have been preoccupied with other matters and are looking for tax or audit updates, state society web sites offer the best sources of information about continuing education available over the next two weeks. Some of the same online course providers that partner with the CPA societies also offer courses for enrolled agents.

The evolution of firm-wide learning
Education and training have always been an important part of the accounting profession. Today, more and more firms are recognizing that ongoing education is not just an individual responsibility but a strategic improvement plan within the firm. And there is so much more than CPE to a firm-wide learning program.

Quick route to CPE credit
Accounting professionals never procrastinate. But in case you've been so busy that you've lost track of time and find yourself trying to "beat the clock" to meet your CPE requirements, CCH Tax and Accounting offers the CCH Testing Center.

Professional organizations enter online CPE marketplace
The convenience, flexibility and low cost of online continuing professional education has contributed to a marketplace that now includes several professional accounting organizations. Packages and prices vary but all of the associations feature access to CPE courses through annual subscriptions.

Distance learning: The world of online training for accountants
There was a time, not very long ago, when distance learning for accountants was limited to self-study books, take-home exams, and the occasional closed-circuit broadcast. In fact, the do-it-yourself training was seen by many as a last resort, when all other avenues for getting required training had been exhausted.



Editor's Note

Okay, procrastinators - you know who you are. Seriously, there is only a little over a week left to finish those 2007 CPE requirements. What are you waiting for? With the incredible ease and versatility that online training offers, there's simply no excuse. Pick an hour, close the office door, and take a class. With so many providers, such a vast array of material, and competitive pricing, including many classes that are offered at no charge, meeting your year-end requirements couldn't be easier. We've provided some links and sources in the articles presented in this newswire, but this is only a sample. Use your search engines, visit your CPA association sites, talk to others who have had success with online training, and you'll quickly see that you can find exactly what you need and be ready to toast the new year with your training behind you.
