How

QR codes will start to appear with training information and material from major CPD training and content providers in Australia throughout 2012. To track, record and report details of your CPD activity, simply open your CPDconnect FPA App and scan the related QR code. That's it! Relevant information in relation to your CPD activity, be that training workshops, conferences, technical reading, e-learning etc. will automatically be filed for you.

Reporting

You can email a report to yourself directly from the App or login to your personal App page at www.cpdconnect.com (using the same login as you set up in your CPDconnect FPA App) and access more detailed analysis of your CPD activities. This is great for audit purposes and ensuring that you are on track in retaining your professional accreditation.

For those in the Financial Planning field the full report from your App will show ASIC competencies and professional dimensions where available. For those in the BAS and Tax Agent fields the report will show the areas required by the new Tax Practitioners Board.
