Professional Development That Keeps You Current—And Compliant

The financial world moves faster than ever. Cryptocurrency is reshaping asset accounting. Sustainability reporting now dominates investor decisions. Fraud detection requires new investigative methods. And regulatory standards evolve annually.

Your qualification from 10 years ago? It's not enough anymore.

What You're Facing

You know the requirement: 30 hours of continuing professional development every year, or face a $200 fine and potential deregistration. But here's the real issue—compliance isn't the hard part. Staying genuinely current in a profession that's genuinely changing is.

Most CPD training teaches you what you already know. This program is different. It teaches you what's actually new.

Three Intensive Sessions. One Powerful Week.

SESSION 1: FORENSIC AUDITING (2 Days: December 8–9) Fraud isn't disappearing. It's evolving. Learn to detect manipulation across modern accounting systems, understand litigation-ready evidence standards, and strengthen controls that actually work. This isn't theoretical—it's investigative methodology you'll use.

  • SIA Members: $150 | Non-Members: $250

SESSION 2: IFRS & AUDITING MASTERCLASS (2 Days: December 10–11) IFRS 9, 18, and 19 brought seismic changes to financial reporting. Add IFRS-S1 and S2 (sustainability reporting) and your compliance obligations just doubled. This isn't an update—it's a reckoning. We'll show you how to audit it, report it, and explain it to stakeholders who now care about what you used to ignore.

  • SIA Members: $150 | Non-Members: $250

SESSION 3: IFRS 17, LESS COMPLEX ENTITIES & DIGITAL ASSETS (1 Day: December 12) Insurance accounting. SME accounting. Cryptocurrency. Blockchain. These aren't niche topics anymore—they're in your clients' financial statements. One day. Three critical areas. Practical, immediately applicable knowledge.

  • SIA Members: $70 | Non-Members: $120

Why This Program Actually Matters

Official CE Hours—Automatically Recorded No paperwork. No delays. Completion is automatically added to your SIA Member Profile.

Current Industry Knowledge from Active Practitioners Your trainer, Jerad Dias, leads ZEDx Academy in Sri Lanka and delivers this program across the SAARC region. He's not reading from 2019 slides. He's teaching what practitioners are actually facing now.

Practical Methodology Each session focuses on how to implement the standard in your practice, not just what the standard says. You'll leave with templates, checklists, and approaches you can use Monday morning.

Competitive Differentiation In a market where everyone has the CA designation, continuous currency is how you justify premium billing and client confidence.

Satisfaction in One Week Five days. Multiple critical areas. You'll complete almost 20% of your annual CPD requirement and actually improve your practice.

The Truth is...

You can satisfy your 30-hour requirement with webinars, e-learning modules, and conference attendance scattered across the year. Or you can invest one week now, complete 20 hours in intensive sessions led by an expert, and actually change how you practice.
