This year's free Virtual CPD Conference is now available for members to watch for free on demand.

In a constantly evolving technical environment, this fast-paced virtual event is designed to help ICAEW members keep up to date with key developments on a broad range of topics in a flexible way. 

The conference offers up to 3.5 hours of verifiable CPD content, with six sessions of around 35 minutes covering:

• Tax: MTD income tax, capital gains tax mid-year rate change, cryptoassets on the self-assessment tax return, inheritance tax changes, the new foreign income and gains regime and more.
• Corporate reporting: UK GAAP and IFRS developments, including narrative reporting.
• Sustainability: Why sustainability makes good business sense and how you can communicate its value to decision-makers. Plus, practical tips on how to demonstrate the benefits of sustainable practices.
• AI in finance: Transformative trends and applications of AI in accounting and finance with Peter Beard, Founder and Managing Director of Generative Finance Technologies.
• Audit and assurance: Key actions and updates from recent regulations changes, how these changes are shaping the profession, and the challenges they address.
• Embracing difference to enhance performance: Hearing from a range of different voices can benefit your organisation. This session provides an approach that will help everyone feel part of the team.

While the sessions are bite-sized updates, they signpost to where members can get more detail on each topic.

Attendees to the event live hailed the sessions as "very professional, clear, informative and relevant" and an "excellent way of keeping up to date".

One said: "I would highly recommend this event if you are a senior finance professional and want to know bite size updates on a wide variety of areas, to then be able to determine what you need to focus on more in your own time." 

Alongside technical updates, the conference also provides a reminder of how members can use the ICAEW online CPD record.
