ICAEW members that are acting as trustees of charities have specific requirements under ICAEW’s CPD Regulations. Read this case study to find out more about what you could do to meet your CPD requirements.
Meet Hope
Hope Davidson qualified as an ICAEW member in 2010. They left the profession to work as a freelance photographer. However, they serve as a trustee on the board of an arts charity in a voluntary capacity and have done so for several years.
Hope's CPD requirements
Hope uses the CPD self-assessment tool to identify whether they are affected by the CPD Regulations. Although Hope no longer works in finance or accountancy, they have obligations under the regulations because they serve as a trustee of a charity.
Hope is required to undertake on an annual basis:
- a minimum of one hour of ethics training; and
- ICAEW's CPD training for charity trustees or equivalent learning that meets similar learning outcomes.
They are also required to keep records and make them available to ICAEW on request.
Hope's CPD activities
Hope takes advantage of the free resources from ICAEW to complete their annual CPD. They complete the first module of ICAEW's ethics CPD course and complete ICAEW's new CPD course for charity trustees.
