Moderator - Certificate in Human Resources for Accounting Professionals

• HR Practitioner 
• CHRP or CHRL Designation 
• Previous Experience in Event Moderation 

This two-day certificate program is developed in partnership with CPA Ontario and targets Accounting Professionals who have little to no experience in HR.  

• CPAs or candidates who wish to boost their careers by acquiring human resources management knowledge and skills.  
• Accounting and finance professionals tasked with cross-disciplinary roles 

As business and work environments change, the lines between different functions continue to blur. To remain a strong asset to your business, it is important to cultivate a broad range of value-added transferable skills. Today, the most coveted business leaders are those with an agile base of cross-disciplinary knowledge and abilities. 

CPAs and finance and accounting professionals can boost their career trajectory by cultivating their abilities to look beyond the numbers. Taking a big-picture approach and gaining a deeper understanding of the “people” side of the business is an invaluable asset in the current business climate. Participants will leverage critical knowledge of the HR function to increase collaboration and cross-functionality within their organizations and lead their businesses (and careers) to new heights.
