Professional Development That Keeps You Current—And Compliant
The financial world moves faster than ever. Cryptocurrency is reshaping asset accounting. Sustainability reporting now dominates investor decisions. Fraud detection requires new investigative methods. And regulatory standards evolve annually.
Your qualification from 10 years ago? It's not enough anymore.
You know the requirement: 30 hours of continuing professional development every year, or face a $200 fine and potential deregistration. But here's the real issue—compliance isn't the hard part. Staying genuinely current in a profession that's genuinely changing is.
Most CPD training teaches you what you already know. This program is different. It teaches you what's actually new.
The Samoa Institute of Accountants is pleased to announce the launch of the Members Portal—a secure, centralized digital platform that streamlines how you manage your professional compliance. Effective immediately, members can access the portal at portal.sia.org.ws to track Continuing Professional Education hours, download membership certificates, manage invoices, register for professional events, and stay informed of announcements.
Notice is hereby given that the Annual General Meeting for the Members of the Samoa Institute of Accountants for the year ended 31 December 2024 will be held at the Taumeasina Island Resort Conference centre on Friday, 28th March 2025 at 3:00pm.
AGENDA:
