US-based KPMG LLP has launched KPMG Prism, a mobile application to offer professional learning and industry content for accounting and finance professionals.
According to the company, the platform provides free learning material and NASBA-accredited continuing professional education (CPE).
Access deeper industry intelligence
Experience unmatched clarity with a single platform that combines unique data, AI, and human expertise.
It is expected to help US-based certified public accountants (CPAs), as well as other accounting and finance professionals, “keep pace with evolving technical topics” as well as meet their professional learning requirements.
Its launch coincides with approaching year-end CPE deadlines for many CPAs.
KPMG noted that the initial content includes courses and podcasts on artificial intelligence, accounting updates, SEC matters, and related topics.
Professional education has traditionally been delivered through classroom sessions, scheduled webinars, and desktop-based programmes.
Prism moves this material to an on-demand mobile format, the firm added.
Its content is informed by KPMG professionals’ work across accounting, reporting, regulation, and emerging technology.
The Big Four firm noted that KPMG Prism is available in the US on iOS and Android.
KPMG US Clients and Markets vice-chair Melissa Taylor said: “KPMG has a long history of investing in the accounting profession, including the learning we develop and share.
“With Prism, we can make more of that knowledge available to professionals in a practical, accessible way.
“Launching with free professional learning and CPE is a natural place for us to start.”
In September, KPMG LLP launched Client Technology & Innovation (CT&I) division to develop AI-native businesses and scale new commercial solutions.
The firm stated at the time that the unit consolidates its wider technology network, bringing together strategic partnerships, corporate venture capital links, and early-stage venture investments.
