The updated CPE policy supersedes the Board’s previous CPE policy, but many of the key principles remain unchanged. Ian Taylor, Chair of the TPB, said “Continuing professional education is very important for registered tax practitioners as it keeps their knowledge and skills up-to-date, which assists in providing a high quality and professional service to their clients.”
