Your training starts here

Skills required by accounting professionals are evolving at an accelerating pace. Driven by the volume of regulation and increasing complexity of accounting standards it has never been more important to stay up to date and maintain your Continuing Professional Development (CPD).  

Mercia’s 2025 training programme can help you develop a plan to achieve your goals. Here we look at what’s inside the new programme. 

Changing demands 

Recently we have seen major changes around auditing standards while the level of change to the UK tax system is at an all-time high. 

Given the challenges facing the industry it’s vital that auditors, accountants, and tax professionals keep their knowledge and skills up to date by maintaining their CPD. 

Mercia’s 2025 Training Programme makes it easier for firms and individuals to identify the CPD they should be completing over the year. As well as our normal wide range of courses and titles we are offering you new ways to learn.  

Mercia’s Masterclasses take extracts from our conference programme and offer the opportunity to hear from experts in specialist areas at your convenience. 

In addition, our new monthly update exclusively for members, brings a round-up of the tax, auditing, accounting, and regulatory issues over the previous month.  

Your Training, Your Way 

We recognise that one size does not fit all and so we offer our clients flexible learning solutions in a variety of formats. 

Our aim is to support and enhance the professional development of you and your team. To achieve this we offer training in a variety of formats including Live Streamed, On Demand or Bite Sized, offering flexibility for you and your team. 

Finding the right topic 

We have listened to feedback from businesses and our courses cover the topics they told us they needed. From auditing to taxation, financial reporting to payroll, leadership to technology we can help keep your team’s technical and professional skills up to date.  

Giving you more insights 

To ensure you can harness the world of rapidly changing technology for your practice, we offer our Future Ready Skills Series. These courses will equip your team with essential skills in AI, data analysis and cloud computing. 

With Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) rising up the regulatory agenda we can also help businesses to understand the risks and opportunities associated with this vital area. 

Our members also benefit from access to exclusive events, such as Ask the Expert and Insights from Experts. 

To stay at the forefront of a changing profession, make sure you read our 2025 training programme to help you meet challenges while maintaining your CPD.
