Your fortnightly guide to CPD courses (22 December 2023)

SPECIAL MESSAGE TO MEMBERS:

Importance of CPD declaration

Members should be reminded of the importance of declaring 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 submission of the CPD declaration with your Annual Return for Renewal is still requested.

Failure to declare CPD compliance will result in non-renewal of membership. Learn more about CPD requirements.
