Canadian CPAs need a 4-hour Ethics CPD course over a 3-year cycle, but the only CPA-provided option is 3 hours long and costs $379, requiring them to find a supplemental 1-hour course elsewhere.
The CPA-provided course is insufficient in duration (3 hours vs required 4) and expensive ($379), forcing CPAs to purchase an additional course from elsewhere to meet the requirement.
