What must staff complete every year to maintain their Xero certification?

To maintain their Xero certification, staff must complete all quarterly product updates. This requirement is essential because Xero frequently enhances its features and functionalities to improve usability and compliance with changing regulations. By completing these updates, certified individuals ensure they are knowledgeable about the latest tools and practices available within the Xero platform, thus providing accurate and up-to-date service to their clients.

In contrast, attending in-person training sessions, submitting client reports, or taking a final exam are not requirements for maintaining certification. These activities may be beneficial for professional development or for acquiring initial certification, but they do not directly contribute to the ongoing maintenance of Xero certification status. Regularly engaging with quarterly product updates is key in the dynamic landscape of accounting software.
