Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a vital part of maintaining your ACCA membership and ensuring your skills remain current and relevant. One of the key responsibilities for members is submitting an annual CPD declaration. Here’s what you need to know to stay compliant and confident in your professional development journey.
Why the CPD declaration matters
Even if you’ve recorded your CPD activities using ACCA’s CPD recording tool, you still need to submit a separate CPD declaration each year. This declaration confirms that you’ve met the CPD requirements for the year and allows you to select the route you’ve followed.
Failing to submit your declaration could put your membership at risk. Without it, you may be removed from the ACCA register.
Submitting your declaration
You can submit your CPD declaration through the Professional Development section of your MyACCA account. It’s important to do this as soon as you’ve met your CPD requirements for the year. The deadline for submission is 1 January each year.
Please note: ACCA has recently updated the MyACCA portal. If you’ve bookmarked pages from the old portal, you should delete them and use the new links provided.
Completed CPD declarations that have been submitted cannot be deleted, a further correcting declaration can be made.
Difficulty meeting CPD requirements
If you’re having difficulty meeting your CPD requirements or completing your declaration, ACCA offers support through the help with your CPD declaration pages. These resources provide guidance and practical advice to help you stay on track.
