Cathy works as a bookkeeper for an engineering firm and uses an accounting package to keep track of the monies going in and out of the business. The software company sent an email to Cathy detailing the added features in the new version and publicising their training courses. She can see some real benefits for the business in the latest version, and she attends a one-day course in the city where a trainer demonstrates and explains the new features and capabilities.

Example

Gino is a member of the NIA and works as a tax agent. The ATO have just released new regulations about fringe benefits tax, and they have organised a series of seminars across the country to inform tax professionals of the new laws. Gino goes to the seminar held in the convention room of a city hotel, and after a series of lectures and presentations he is fully informed and comfortable with the new laws. He receives several booklets from the ATO to keep for reference at work, and the six hours of seminars means he achieves the minimum number of CPD hours the NIA requires.
