The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) have expanded their learning and development of professional web sites to include skills in accounting and financial information, as well as insurance, part a broader effort to bring innovation in lifelong learning within the accounting profession.
The competition AICPA, CIMA and learning website, a joint AICPA and CIMA project, initially launched earlier this year as a management tool for authorized Global Accountant® (CGMA®) designation holders to expand their skills and build rewarding careers. In recent months, the site was expanded to include other categories of skills such as auditing employee benefit plan, the government audit and - today - accounting and auditing. Other subject areas will be added in the coming months.
With the integration of the new framework of knowledge of accounting and auditing at the site, the APC will be able to analyze quickly where they might have a gap in knowledge and obtain personalized advice instantly in articles, videos, courses, conferences and other learning resources to control that area. The framework was developed by some of the best experts in the industry.
"Vocational training is not the quantity of time you spend on a computer or how long you sit through a presentation," said Clar Rosso, vice chairman and member of AICPA learning competition. "This is the acquisition of knowledge and experience that you can and take your career to the next level. That is why an approach to skills development makes sense."
A new website feature is "knowledge checks" or multiple choice questions on specific topics. A wrong answer links to learning resources on this topic AICPA fire. APC can also find conferences and other opportunities close by leveraging location-based learning searches. The site is free and easy mobile, so that users can test their knowledge and learn through any device at any time.
