2. Reading industry publications: Reading industry publications, such as professional journals and magazines, can help accountants stay up to date on the latest developments in auditing and related fields.

3. Participating in online courses and webinars: There are many online courses and webinars available on auditing and related topics. These can be a convenient way for accountants to learn new skills and stay current on the latest developments.

4. Seeking out continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities: Many professional associations offer CPD programs and resources specifically geared towards auditing. These can be a great way for accountants to meet their CPD requirements and stay up to date on the latest developments in the field.

5. Staying informed about changes to auditing standards: It is important for accountants to stay informed about changes to auditing standards, such as the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) standards.
