CPD supports your career by providing you with the knowledge and skills that you need to excel in your role, as well as enhance your employability for the future.  
 
There are four different ways to approach your CPD, called routes. For more information on our CPD routes, visit ACCAGlobal 

What do you need to do?  
Each year, you should identify areas for development and engage in continuous professional development (CPD) to meet your specific needs and ensure that your skills and knowledge are kept current.  
 
Your CPD declaration is a mandatory part of your annual renewal and confirms that you’ve met your CPD requirements. Your CPD declaration is due by 1 January every year, if you've not met your requirements, or do not submit a CPD declaration to confirm this, your membership may be at risk.  
 
Once you’ve met your CPD requirement for the year, you should submit your CPD declaration via your myACCA account. Please note, we recommend deleting any old links you may have saved from the previous portal.
 
If you've not been able to meet your CPD requirement or you're having problems completing your CPD, have a look at our guide to CPD, making your CPD declaration and help with your CPD declaration pages for more advice. You can also visit our short video on ACCA Global for further guidance.
 
You should keep the records of your CPD activities for 3 years* just in case it's needed for a CPD review.  
 
Members holding an ACCA Irish practising certificate and audit qualification and individuals who are partners or directors or agents of a firm holding an ACCA Irish auditing certificate must keep a record of their CPD activities for six years. Registered tax practitioners in South Africa must keep a record of their CPD activities for five years.  
 
Further guidance on how to record your activities can be found within the keeping your CPD evidence section.
