CGA PD points: Non verifiable hours

CGA's if you're not sure you have enough points for 2012, or you're planning your PD for next year, consider purchasing my bundle of products for only $290.00.  There's a link to purchase the mastering QuickBooks software bundle, go direct to www.taxdetective.ca/bundle.html

There are 44 items, videos, spreadsheets, sample data files, etc. included in this bundle. Basically it's everything I've recorded from March 2011 to October 2012 for IPBC webinars for bookkeepers. Then, for free, you can also download sample data files from my website that were created while recording the webinars.

People tell me they are now watching the video for the third time, because they are so content rich. They have QuickBooks open on one monitor, and the video on another, or on a laptop beside where they are working, so they can pause and re-wind and work through what I'm showing them with QuickBooks open and the same file I"m showing on the video open so they can poke around and explore the forms, registers, reports, etc. to see for themselves how it works. They tell me they are gaining confidence, and one guy reported he passed the Certified ProAdvisor exam with 83.33% on the first try after watching the ten videos.

Last night the crew at the CGA Fraser Valley Computer User Group got a kick out of what one anonymous customer had to say about how these videos had affected him...

"I've watched other videos, read a few books, about QuickBooks, but yours are totally different. After watching yours, I feel that I am now controlling QuickBooks...before that I was controlled by QuickBooks...I am free now. I am the master, not him" 

I wanted to know why QuickBooks is a him and not a her...so I asked my husband. He says it's because machines are often considered to be feminine and the software that controls them is masculine. What do you think?

With 20 hours on Mastering QuickBooks, another 5 hours on Working Papers using QuickBooks report writer and a plethora of other self-study topics like Units of Measure, Time and Billing, Adjusting Time & Billing, you'll be positioned to claim 30 or more hours of non verifiable PD.

But there's something else that could provide you with even more hours, there's a link to my TaxLinks Pro Portal, for hundreds of hours of reading on topical links by subject. For example, vehicles, CCA, home office, personal services business... those are just a few of my research projects for writing articles where I've kept the links to my research. My computer tech guy suggested I should bundle those links and sell them as a valuable product in it's own right. Repeat customers tell me they love those links.

Order the DVD for an extra $20 if you don't have about an hour to download all 44 products. I'm told the 2 hour videos in the 10 part series take about 7 minutes each with a high speed download. And someone introduced me to www.speedbit.com yesterday, so maybe it will be even faster with this free tool. (no guarantees, and please read the caveats before loading free software)

Here's what it says on the CGA BC website about what qualifies as non verifiable hours:

Q: What types of activities qualify as non-verifiable technical reading hours?
A:
The following types of activities can be claimed under non-verifiable hours:

  • Self-study or technical reading of published materials relevant to your development as an accountant or related to your industry
  • Reading Outlook magazine or CGA-Canada Magazine
  • Technical research and reading that may be required of you for your job
  • DVD, CD, or audiocassette study and self-study courses that do not provide a certificate of completion or assessment process
When submitting a claim for a non-verifiable technical reading activity, include a brief description of the activity, titles of publications and hours spent.
