CPD Plan and Record

About this document

What it’s for

A personal CPD plan and record that works for members of ICAEW, ACCA, AAT, CIOT, ATT, ICB and similar bodies. It follows the plan–do–reflect–record cycle the bodies use, records verifiable evidence and links CPD to the services the member provides. A firm-wide matrix helps principals show that mandatory training (AML, ethics, data protection) is up to date.

When to use it

  • At the start of each CPD year to plan
  • Throughout the year to log activities and evidence
  • Before the annual CPD declaration, and if selected for a CPD review

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Part A – My details and CPD requirements
  • Part B – Learning needs review
  • Part C – CPD plan for the year
  • Part F – Annual review and declaration check

How to complete it

  • Record your body’s current requirements in Part A
  • Complete the learning needs review (Part B) and plan (Part C)
  • Log each activity in Part D and reflect on key ones in Part E
  • Complete the annual check in Part F before declaring

Key points to check

  • CPD rules differ by body and by role – check your own body’s current policy
  • Keep evidence for verifiable CPD for the period your body requires
