CPD Reporting
CPD reports are due by January 31 for the
previous calendar year. You can log your
CPD activities online throughout the year as
you undertake them. Failure to complete
and report CPD requirements will result in a
$200 late reporting administration fee and,
ultimately, in suspension and cancellation of
membership.
CPD Audit
It is important for you to keep supporting
records of your CPD activities for five years
after the end of the annual reporting cycle,
as CPABC audits a random sample of
members each year for the preceding threeyear cycle. You do not need to submit the
supporting records unless requested.

Verifiable CPD Sources
CPD does not have to be taken through
CPABC; it does not even have to be taken in
Canada. CPD may be completed through
any learning institution, organization, and/
or employer.
Nor does CPD have to be accounting
related. You choose the area of learning.
Verifiable CPD only has to be relevant to
your particular employment or professional
role, business situation, or career aspirations.
CPD Reductions and Exemptions
Please refer to our website at bccpa.ca for

exemptions. You may qualify if you are
retired, caring for a dependant, on medical
leave, or have special circumstances.
