L&D Subscriptions – Frequently Asked Questions

These FAQs are intended to provide you with a broad understanding of L&D Subscriptions. If your question isn’t answered here, or for more detailed inquiries, please contact our Client & Partner Services team by completing our contact form.

What are L&D Subscriptions?

They offer your finance and accounting teams turn-key learning solutions and experiences. They are built around the five critical CGMA competency framework knowledge areas — Digital, Technical, Business, Leadership and People. The tiered subscription model offers unlimited access for your team to a growing library of resources the AICPA® & CIMA® developed.

The latest, most relevant and popular learning solutions are packaged into tailored subscriptions — delivering flexible options and value for your organization.

What’s included in the subscription?

We have three levels of subscriptions, depending on the requirements of your team/business. Each includes unlimited access to the courses and resources from the competency areas in the tier you choose.

How does it work?

You pay a fee per person, per year based on a 12-month contract. Contact our Client & Partner Services team to discuss options and subscription levels and content that works for your organization.

How does the team get access to the resources?

Each team member with a subscription will have a login for the Association learning platform.

How long does the subscription last?

Each contract is for 12 months. Contact our Client & Partner Services team to explore extended contract options.

What’s the benefit of a subscription (rather than ad hoc training sessions/courses)?

It allows you to scale up your learning options. Each team member chooses the learning to meet their individual needs. They take the courses at a time and place that is convenient to them and the business. Organizations save significant money compared to the cost of buying individual courses and other resources.
