The Maryland State Board of Public Accountancy has voted unanimously to adopt the final CPE regulations for nano learning, or 10-minute CPE increments. The regulations will be in effect by March 31, 2015. Maryland joins Ohio in the official approval of this new CPE format.
This is an important first step in moving Maryland toward the “future of learning” for CPAs. The “future of learning” is a profession-wide initiative to advance the CPE model started by the AICPA. Maryland’s own Jackie Brown participated on that task force. Jackie said, “The trend in ‘just-in-time’ learning was clear among major firms and corporations, which is why we wanted to move forward on this initiative.” We worked with the AICPA, the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA), and Ohio in formulating this regulation as an effort to maintain uniformity as these new formats for CPE are addressed.

You can see the future of learning in Maryland on May 4 as we bring Dan Burrus, one of the world’s leading futurists on global trends and innovation and a best-selling author, to talk about his latest research on trends and competencies needed for CPAs (information and registration here).
We have worked with Dan to bring an innovative learning program called the Anticipatory CPA, an accelerated learning system with rapid application tools to help CPAs develop the No. 1 competency needed to be future-ready – anticipation. Dan has worked with our Business Learning Institute and a customer co-creation group of CPAs, organizations, firms and companies to customize his Anticipatory Organization program for CPAs and accounting / finance professionals. Join us on May 4 to hear Dan’s latest research about the future and learn about how you can become an Anticpatory CPA.
