Is publishing the new model for providing CPD to accounting and finance professionals?

"Ever since leaving the corporate world of publishing I have been wondering how long it would take me to return to my old ways. There was always something of a thrill about thinking up ideas for new books and then creating them and selling them. Some were well received, others less so, but it was always interesting. So why has it taken us seven years to launch our new portfolio of online professional development courses for accounting and finance professionals?"
