ICAEW's CPD year runs from 1 November to 31 October. Find out what happens to your CPD obligations when your circumstances change during a CPD year, whether you're going on parental leave, retiring or getting promoted.

ICAEW members are required to record the activities they complete to meet their continuing professional development (CPD) needs. There are no specific requirements as to how this record is kept, but ICAEW has a digital option for those that want to use it.

The CPD Regulations use 'CPD categories' to help you understand how much CPD you need to complete each year. Here we explain the types of entities, roles and concepts used within the categories.
