How We Issue Our CPD Certificates
As of 1st July 2021
Recently, the professional bodies have changed their Continuing Professional Development requirements (CAANZ CR7 and IPA Pronouncement 7).
Both CAANZ and the IPA are now requiring that you have "verifiable" CPD for at least 90 hours in a triennium.
If you watch a recording then this may not be considered formal training. Because of this we are now issuing different CPD certificates to ensure that those that attend live training can guarantee that this is verifiable CPD.
How do we issue our CPD certificates?
➜ Whilst you will still get the full hours on the certificate we will divide those hours into hours attended and hours watched online. ➜We have systems in place to allow us to monitor who attends and who actually views our online content and we need to show the professional bodies that we are ensuring that our subscribers are actually completing the training.
What counts as 'formal' and 'informal' training?
➜ If you attend a live webinar you will receive a certificate to say you attended (verified).
➜ Otherwise, you will receive a certificate to say you watched the recording.
➜ Whilst we would advise that you keep the slides etc we cannot guarantee that CAANZ or the IPA will consider watching a recording as being verified hours
But wait...
➜ You can gain 'verified' hours for pre-recorded sessions, you will just need to complete a short quiz at the end of the session within 14 days and if you pass then you will get the full hour as verified training.
➜ Within 14 days, if you opt-out of the test it will simply be an hour of training. This time frame will give you sufficient time to do your online training as well as give us a deadline to issue you a CPD certificate based on whether the quiz has been completed or not.
There is also now a push to mandate different types of training
IPA➜ The IPA has a totally new requirement from 1 July 2021 and this will require their members to complete 20 hours of Professional & Ethical Standards and another 20 hours of Management and Professional Skills. ➜ Don't worry, we will be offering alternate CPD pathways where you can choose to do 20 hours of the alternate topics along with 20 hours of tax training in a given year so you can gain your 120 hours. (Read about IPA changes here)
CA➜CAANZ now require you to complete 2 hours of ethics as part of your 120 hours over a triennium. We will provide one hour of ethics each year as part of our CPD program.

What Clients Have Said About Advisers Digest
"In late February 2018, Peter and I discussed one of my clients and a possible Estate Planning Exercise for them.
I presented a proposal to the client recently and today they have agreed to the proposal. We're going to look at their super as well (Mum and Dad are close to the $1.6m caps) and combined with the Estate Planning exercise, they're just signed off on a $26K + GST contract.
The past 18 months have been a lot of "head down tail up" in this transition to my new business life. It is only with Peter's input that Tuesday afternoon that it dawned on me what we should be doing for this client. I wanted to thank them sincerely for being in the sounding board that afternoon and raising with me this idea.
I appreciate it immensely. "
Dean Robinson,

"I could'nt speak more highly of the experience I have had with Peter to date...
- Excellent technical support as access to the owner of the business
- Fantastic turnaround time
- Managed to get me an SOA for a new set-up including LRBA in anticipation of an Auction within a couple of days
- Great process of initial SOA's for existing SMSF's and then ROA thereafter
- Training provided is very practical
I am very happy to recommend this service. "

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this program be relevant to me as a practising accountant?
Definitely! As practising accountants, we are required to complete a total of 120 hours of CPD per triennium, with at least 20 hours undertaken each year. This equates to 40 hours of CPD per year. Our program provides you with these necessary CPD hours.
As well as this, the Complete Tax CPD program provides you with high-quality training that helps you stay up to date with changes within the taxation industry as well as specialist training on important special topics.
Q: Are these webinars simply for viewing or will I be able to interact and ask questions?
Webinars will be structured from 1 hour to 90 minutes, including Q&As. You can have any questions/queries addressed during this time with our presenter.
Q: Do you have money back guarantee?
Yes, if you attended the very first session and didn't find it useful, please email us info@advisersdigest.com.au on the same day before 5pm.
We will refund you within 3 working days. That means, no CPD certificate will be issued to you. There will be no recording sent to you after the session.
If you didn't show up on the session, and there's NO refund available, recording will be made available to you after the session.
Q: When will I receive my first training content?
Upon registering, you will be able to decide if you wish to begin training this month or next month. Beginning your training in the same month may mean that some live sessions have passed, but remember we will provide you with digital recordings of the live session.
The benefit of starting your training next month, means you will be able to attend all sessions live. Schedule them in your calendar and hop into our sessions.
Q: Will there be a replay I can watch later?
Yes, we will send you a recording to all attendees with a personalised login. This will be available within 48-72 hours after the session. All of your recordings will be available for access while you are a paying subscriber.
Q: What if I can't make it live to the webinar sessions?
We will record the session, that means you will be provided with a digital recording of the webinar after the session finishes.
You will still receive your relevant CPD hours and certificate.
Q: Can I interact with the presenter?
Yes, all of our training are conducted online but it doesn't mean it's one way training. In fact, when you show up the live sessions, you can ask questions, we answer all the questions towards the end of each presentation. And we record them so that you can go back to re-watch them.
Q: Will I receive a certificate to document my CPD training?
Yes, we will issue a certificate providing your CPD after each webinar. You will receive the certificate based on whether you attend a live webinar (attendance certificate) or watch the replay (replay watching certificate). If you cannot attend the live webinar and wish to obtain a formal certificate (applicable for CA & IPA members), you will need to complete a quiz in the training portal within 14 days from the time the recording becomes available. This will allow us to issue a formal CPD certificate.
Q: I am looking to register my firm. How many purchases will I need to make and how many CPD certificates will I receive?
One registration entitles 1 person to access all the scheduled training content. Certificates will be issued to the purchaser.
If you require training + certificates for 2-3 people, that will require 2-3 purchases.
For more training + certificates for 3-6, we have a same-firm package available which will save you money!
For firms more than 6, we can customise a specific package for your needs. Simply contact us to discuss this further.
Q: What's the minimum subscription length for monthly payments?
You can have an easy start by selecting our monthly payment of $297, the minimum length is 12 months as we work on getting you 40 hours of CPD per year. By the end of your first 12 months, you can decide to continue or cancel, just email us info@AdvisersDigest.com.au. We make it easy for you.
Q: Do you record the Q&A?
Yes, we will send you the entire recording including Q&As. This will be added to your replay training portal.
Q: The price of the program is very good—why is it so low?
In-person classes come with a lot of overhead costs— venue, room and board for speakers, insurance, printed materials and the like. Our program is 100% online, so we eliminate overhead costs and pass the savings on to you.
Q: Do the program include tech support?
The short answer is no, we have advice on tap tech support service available. The program doesn't include tech support services. However, if you have questions in relation to the topic you attend, you are more than welcome to hop on the live webinars and ask your questions, we address your questions towards the end of each session and they get recorded too. So please take advantage of the live sessions to get your questions answered.
Q: Can I give the certificate to someone else if I cannot attend the session?
Unfortunately, we cannot change the name from one person to another. The certificates will ONLY be issued to the person who registered for the program due to one CPD certificate system we have in place (coming in July 2024). This is what this program is for, fulfilling your CPD requirements in one place. If you have an additional person who wishes to receive a CPD certificate, you can either purchase the training program or sign up for the training topic individually. Alternatively, we do offer a firm package (buy 3 get another 3 for free) for up to 6 people.
Q: How Do I Get My One CPD Certificate?
From late October 2023, you will be able to download your 1 CPD certificate from our training portal. It's the same portal where you access your webinar recordings. You will no longer need to track each CPD training you do with us, our system will calculate all the CPD hours you've done with us whether verified or unverified CPD hours. This applies to ALL CPD training you've done with Advisers Digest, not limited to the Complete Tax CPD program only.
Getting Your CPD Hours & Staying Up To Date On Tax Changes Doesn’t Have To Be Difficult
