Continuing Professional Development

Accounting, taxation, and IFRS are constantly changing. A specialist who trained several years ago quickly falls behind without regular updates: new FSBU standards appear, provisions of the Russian Tax Code change, and amendments to international standards are issued. That is why it is important for a professional accountant to pursue professional development every year.

Training objectives: deepen existing knowledge, master new requirements and tools, work more efficiently, and submit reports on time and without errors.

HSE IPAA runs regular professional development courses for accountants. They stand out for:

• high-quality study materials;
• a practical focus;
• new and up-to-date information.

How the program is structured

The program follows the continuing professional development model: 120 academic hours over three years.

• 60 mandatory academic hours — three subjects: civil law, taxes and taxation, and IFRS updates;
• another 60 academic hours are credited for completing any HSE IPAA course.

If you are a member of a professional body of accountants or auditors, it determines the amount of mandatory training and how hours are confirmed. Before classes begin, check with your organization which programs count toward the requirement.
