Sustainability Hub

In October 2022, CPA Ireland Skillnet launched a new interactive and practical Sustainability Hub to help guide members and students to develop sustainability strategies for business.

Sustainability reporting will not be confined to large companies, and we are already seeing SMEs being asked to verify their sustainability credentials within the supply chain of larger companies and when tendering for public contracts.

To support CPAs in providing that transparency and trust, both knowledge and credentials are, we believe, essential. CPAs already possess the core technical skills to lead in the domain of sustainability reporting and CPA Ireland is delivering the knowledge advantage through the development and launch of this Sustainability Hub.

This initiative follows on from and builds upon CPA Ireland’s leadership positions in Digitalisation and in Wellbeing, and the Sustainability Hub will provide knowledge across all aspects of sustainability that are relevant to CPAs and to the businesses you advise.

  • 45 unstructured hours

Industry:

  • 60 structured hours
  • 60 unstructured hours

For our newer members who have qualified in the past two years your CPD requirements are calculated on a pro rata basis.

For example, if you work in practice and you were conferred in December 2021 you must complete 25 hours by the end of 2022 (50 hours if you were conferred in December 2020). If you work in industry and you were conferred in December 2021 you must complete 20 hours by the end of 2022 (40 hours if you were conferred in December 2020).

We will be running an extensive programme of conferences, webinars, full day courses and Post Qualification Specialisms throughout the remainder of the year – more than enough to fulfil all your requirements!
