Learning through scenarios

Each episode presents a realistic practice situation. You decide how the professional should respond, then see the reasoning behind the right answer with references to the relevant standard.

✓ TM-B

Records ready for review

Every episode is assessed. Your certificate records the provider, date, hours, topic and learning outcomes, so it can be claimed as verifiable CPD where it's relevant to your role.

✓ TM-C

Affordable by design

A full year's membership costs less than a single half-day seminar, so sole practitioners and bookkeepers can meet their obligations without large-firm budgets.

The characters

Meet the cast of Ledger & Co.

A consistent set of characters appears across every season. Familiar faces make the scenarios easier to follow and the principles easier to recall.
