SPECIAL MESSAGE TO MEMBERS:

Importance of CPD declaration

Members are required to declare continuing professional development (CPD) compliance annually for membership renewal. CPD records in MyCPA on the Institute website do not equate to a declaration of CPD compliance, and members are still required to submit the CPD declaration with your Annual Return for Renewal. Failure to declare CPD compliance will result in non-renewal of membership. Click to learn more about CPD requirements.
