As an ACCA member, it's mandatory to do relevant CPD every year to ensure you maintain and develop the knowledge and skills to succeed in today's dynamic and demanding business environment.
All active ACCA members* must complete CPD on an annual basis and submit an declaration each year to confirm they have met their requirements.
* Members on the lifetime members register are not required to undertake CPD or submit an annual CPD declaration.
* New members must start completing CPD from 1 January, the year after being admitted to membership. So if you were admitted to membership in 2024, your CPD requirement would begin in 2025 with your 2025 CPD declaration due by 1 January 2026.
Your CPD declaration must be submitted via the Professional Development section of your myACCA account. You can visit our short video on ACCA Global for further guidance.
If you can't complete your CPD because of personal circumstances, then you may be eligible to apply for a CPD waiver
Our CPD scheme complies with the CPD Standard (IES 7) released by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) of which we're a member.
