FEE Discussion Paper 'Continuous Professional Education in the European Accountancy Profession – A Survey of Current Practices'
The vast majority of European professional bodies of accountants are actively engaged in the field of continuous professional education. The overall conclusion of the survey is that most standards issued by FEE Member Bodies comply with the requirements of IFAC. However, education and competence are not only, nor mainly, about compliance with standards. At a time the business context, technologies and regulations change so rapidly, continuous professional education is a priority for every professional accountant and is to be expected from anyone holding such a professional title.
