Overview   

On the 1st of January 2020, SAICAs and IRBAs amended output-based CPD policies came into effect. There are some notable differences between SAICA’s old input-based CPD policy and the new output-based 2020 CPD policy.

Every full or associate member of SAICA needs to be aware of the contents and requirements of the amended CPD policy. Anton van Wyk CA(SA) will be presenting an informative webinar on the content, important requirements and execution of SAICAs amended CPD policy. The question will be asked: are you on PAR?

Join Anton on 28 August 2020 from 09:00 am to 11:00 am as he provides a concise overview of this important output-based CPD policy now prescribed. He will also summarise the general principles of output-based CPD policies. Attending this webinar will inform you of everything you need to know in order to stay compliant and relevant.

Attendance of this webinar, is the very first step toward the creation of the annual CPD reflective plan that every member or associate is required to develop in terms of the amended CPD policy.

We will be providing a CPD Self-Assessment and Planning Tool – free of charge – when you attend this webinar.

With this tool you will be able to perform a self-assessment on various competencies to identify any personal and professional developmental needs and be able to structure a learning plan accordingly to address those needs identified. The CPD tool supports your responsibility, in terms of the new CPD policies, to prepare a three-phase CPD reflective plan for the 2020 calendar year, commencing with planning your developmental needs according to your individualised circumstances.
