Continuous Professional Development (CPD)

APSCA Member Auditors at the CSCA level are required to complete a minimum of 48 hours of CPD per calendar year, including 2 hours Mandatory Ethics training, 30 hours of Elective Training and 16 hours of Onsite Audit. For detailed information, see the APSCA CPD Policy.

This must be done by January for the previous calendar year to avoid being moved to ASCA.

Member Auditors are required to upload their CPD information into their APSCA Online Account (My Account). Video tutorials are available to guide you in the steps.
