The ICAEW’s revised CPD framework started on 1 November 2023.

All ICAEW members (other than retirees) are required to carry out a minimum number of CPD hours per year, including a minimum number of verifiable hours, with the amount varying depending on the role.

Members also need to complete one-hour mandatory training aligned to the ICAEW Code of Ethics each year.

Some firms may have a different CPD year to ICAEW’s 1 November to 31 October, which can be retained as ICAEW has not mandated any changes to CPD years.

The revised requirements kicked in from the start of the first CPD year for each firm after 1 November 2023.
