Whispering Truth to Power This film chronicles the story of Thuli Madonsela in her last year in public office as Public Protector in South Africa. After her appointment in 2009 to the office of Public Protector, Madonsela quickly commanded nationwide respect and admiration for her ethical work that helped neglected citizens and the poor. However, Madonsela faced severe backlash when she investigated the most powerful man in the country, President Jacob Zuma, who has been accused of massive illegal public spending on his private home. A bitter four-year battle sharply divided South Africa's political elite when Zuma refused to abide by Madonsela’s ruling and pay back public money. The film follows her last year serving as South Africa’s Public Protector and her dramatic race against time to complete her investigation in the face of violent protests, court interdicts, political and personal attacks, and death threats. The objective is the promotion of professionalism – i.e., professional ethics, which encompasses the personal and corporate standards of behavior expected by CPA professionals.

Read MoreThroughout this documentary, I find it distrubing that there were so few who were willing to take a stand that these practices were wrong and illegal. Have we become so ingrained that the bottom line is everything that we cannot or are not willing to see that our actions can have profound effects on people like us. Unfortunately, our neighbours south of the border seem intent in allowing these frauds to continue and continue to remove safeguards that other countries around the world see as necessary to protect its citizens. I am thankful that Canada has not travelled down this path yet.

Here are some FAQ we have had:
Q: Do I need to complete all of the courses within the bundle at the same time?
A: No, each course comes with its own certificate dated when the course is completed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: The 3 for 1 bundle has 6.5 hours of ETHICS CPD, but I only need 4 hours for this 3 year cycle. Can I split the hours?
A: There are 3 courses within the bundle. Each course is worth a different amount of hours. You have access to the courses for 1 FULL YEAR. In order to get the certificate with CPD hours you need to complete a course, so if you complete 1 course of 2.5 hours, plus a second course of 1.5 hours, then you will have 4 hours of ETHICS CPD (from the 2 certificates dated this year). You can leave the third course in your dashboard until next year :) then when you complete the third course next year, you will have 2.5 hours of ETHICS CPD for the next 3 year cycle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Are your courses approved by CPA Ontario/Quebec/Alberta etc?
A: While each CPA jurisdiction is different, the requirements for ETHICS are very similar. Each one of our ETHICS courses covers several of the ETHICS topics that are approved/required. Our students have not had any issues when submitting our certificates to their jurisdictions.
