Training and Development Audit process

Key Points

• A Training & Development Audit is undertaken each year on a random selection of members
• Members are obliged by the Regulations to respond to an audit request

All full-fee paying members and affiliates are obliged to meet the Training and Development requirements. A random selection of those full-fee paying members and affiliates is made each year for the Training and Development audit. Once selected, the audit will proceed as follows:

Step One

Once selected for a Training and Development audit, members will be sent an Audit Selection Advice letter and email, asking them to provide their Training & Development records.

The Regulations state you must respond to such a request from the Institute.

Step Two

Once your response has been received, a member of the Professional Standards team will review your Training & Development details. If you have satisfied the Training & Development obligations, you will receive written confirmation of compliance.

If there is a shortfall in your Qualifying Hours, you will be contacted by Professional Standards to discuss the matter further.

Similarly, a request for exemption will be reviewed and a response confirming the exemption, or requesting more information, will be despatched.
