Selected for the CPD audit? |

Members selected for the audit are required to submit to the Institute their CPD records of the relevant reporting CPD period with documentation to support attendance or completion of the CPD activities as stated in their CPD records; and a statement on the relevancy of the CPD activities. Members who are selected for the CPD compliance audit but fail to adequately respond to or pass the audit will not be able to renew their membership. Find all other FAQs on CPD here. |
