ICAEW Podcasts

A free hour of CPD each month

ICAEW's long-running podcast series keeps you up to date while you tick off your to-do list - hear the latest developments in tax, audit, corporate reporting, finance and business.

Beyond Finance

Answering the big questions

Each month, subscribers to ICAEW's podcasts get two episodes: one on the latest goings on in the world of business, finance and accountancy, and one deep dive into a big topic.

It’s useful, relevant, easy to follow, and delivered to you on your favourite podcast app, in the style of a conversational current affairs show.

In each episode, we aim to cover the key issues that accountants and finance professionals need to know about:

  • What’s going on with corporate reporting?
  • How do you use AI safely?
  • What are the essential skills that accountants need to develop?
  • How big is the fraud threat for accountants?
  • How do you join the c-suite?

Each episode counts as around 30 minutes of CPD – that’s an hour of CPD per month, 12 hours a year.

Stream or download the show via your chosen podcast app. You can also subscribe to get the latest episode as it comes out.
