Mobile App Puts Accredited CPE Courses on Demand

KPMG LLP has launched KPMG Prism, a mobile application offering free accounting and finance learning material and NASBA-accredited continuing professional education (CPE) courses in the United States, available on iOS and Android. The launch arrives as many CPAs approach year-end CPE deadlines.

Why it matters

Continuing professional education requirements are a recurring cost and time commitment for accountants, and an on-demand format can make meeting them easier to fit around busy schedules. The launch comes as accounting professionals face fast-changing technical topics, including artificial intelligence and SEC matters.

Prism provides free learning material alongside NASBA-accredited CPE courses, and is available in the US on iOS and Android. Its initial content covers artificial intelligence, accounting updates, and SEC matters.

The players

KPMG LLP

A large multinational professional services firm, a major provider of audit, tax, and advisory services that also runs professional education for accountants and finance staff.

The details

Prism delivers its courses and podcasts on demand through a mobile app rather than through scheduled webinars, classroom sessions, or desktop programs. Its content draws on the work of KPMG professionals across accounting, reporting, regulation, and emerging technology. Learners can therefore study in short sessions on a phone instead of committing to fixed times. Because the courses are NASBA-accredited, they are designed to count toward the CPE requirements that CPAs must meet.

Timeline

  1. KPMG launched its Client Technology & Innovation division in September 2026.

  2. KPMG Prism launched on November 11, 2026.

  3. Year-end CPE deadlines for many CPAs are approaching.

Education Landscape

Professional accounting education has long relied on NASBA-accredited CPE courses delivered through classrooms, webinars, and desktop programs. Prism represents a shift toward on-demand mobile learning within that established credit system.

If you are a CPA or accounting professional with a CPE deadline approaching, Prism offers an on-demand way to fit accredited courses into a busy schedule. Ask your state board or licensing body to confirm that Prism's NASBA-accredited courses satisfy your specific requirements before you enroll.

The takeaway

Mobile, on-demand delivery is changing how accounting professionals meet their continuing education obligations without giving up accredited credit. Before relying on any course for credit, confirm with your licensing body that it meets your state's requirements.
