Importance of CPD declaration
|
|
|
|
|
Members are required to declare continuing professional development (CPD) compliance annually for membership renewal. Please be reminded that CPD records in MyCPA on the Institute website do not equate to a declaration of CPD compliance. You 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. Learn more about CPD requirements and find other FAQs on CPD here.
