Your annual return
All members are required to submit an annual CPD return each year, no matter what CPD route is followed. You can submit your annual CPD return online at any point in the year by logging into myACCA. Alternatively you can complete a paper version, which you will receive as part of your annual subscription renewal notification. This must be returned to ACCA by 1 January of the following year.
The annual return process is simple. Indicate your chosen CPD route and indicate if you are involved in the preparation or presentation of publicly available financial statements. Then sign the declaration that you have completed your CPD requirement and kept your professional ethics up to date. You do not need to send in supporting evidence with your annual CPD return.
