(1) The council may conduct random audits as it deems necessary and practicable, but notionally as indicated from time to time in its Policy, of the CPD records of all registered persons who are required to undertake CPD in terms of these rules.

 

(2) In the event that a registered person is selected for audit, such registered person must send, within four weeks of receiving notification to this effect, documentary evidence of his or her CPD activities, which may be in the form of certificates, a list of results, records of attendance or receipts of course payment.

 

(3) If a voluntary association or an accredited educational institution provided a CPD activity, written verification from such recognised voluntary association or accredited educational institution will be recognised as sufficient evidence of attendance.

 

(4) Where a CPD activity was provided by any other person or organisation who is not an approved CPD provider, approval of such CPD activity must be obtained from an appropriate recognised voluntary association and proof of attendance must be submitted.

 

(5) The council must advise a registered person, within 30 days after completion of an audit, of the outcome of such audit.

 

(6) If during an audit a registered person is assessed as having failed to meet the requirements, the record and verification documentation of such person must be referred to the relevant Registration Committee or Professional Advisory Committee for a decision regarding remedial steps, but such candidate will automatically be earmarked for re-audit during the next year.

 

(7)In the event that a registered person is audited during the fifth year of a registered person's cycle, the council must consider the remedial steps in the context of the fact that such registered person is due to apply for renewal of his or her registration during that year.
