Verifiable CPE refers to activities that could be objectively verified by a competent source. Examples of verifiable CPE activities include:

 

• Attending seminars, talks or workshops, in-house training provided by your employer
• Attending online programmes or e-learning
• Attending board or audit committee meeting
• Studying for an MBA or other post-qualification programmes
• Preparing for and sitting for professional examinations

• Writing technical articles, papers and books

In the event that there is any shortfall in the CPE hours, former members will be required to make up for the hours by submitting a CPE plan detailing the courses they intend to attend.

 

Please write to us at cpeaudit@isca.org.sg if you require any assistance with your CPE compliance.

For courses, seminars, workshops or conferences organised by the Institute, you do not need to submit supporting documents. 

For courses not organised by the Institute, the following examples represent evidence that could be used for verification:
• Confirmation of participation by a provider, organiser, instructor, employer, mentor or tutor
• Confirmation of registration or invoice for payment of course fee
• Letter of endorsement issued by employer or training organisation
• Agenda or meeting minutes (for involvement in Board or Audit Committee meetings)
• Transcript, examination result slips
• Publication of a professional article or a research project

If there is any shortfall in the CPE hours, former members will be required to make up for the hours by submitting a CPE plan detailing the CPE activities or courses they intend to attend.

Former members may request for CPE exemption if they have not been able to fulfill the CPE requirements due to reasons such as medical conditions, unemployment, full-time homemaker, career break and retirement. A waiver may be considered if the member has not carried out work of any professional/business nature (whether paid or unpaid) for the full CPE year under request. In other situations, a reduction in CPE hours may be applicable. To enquire on your eligibility for CPE exemptions, you may email us at cpeaudit@isca.org.sg.

Former members will be required to pay:

 

  • Back payment of the subscription fees for years they were out of membership. The annual subscription fee will be based on the rate for that year.
  • Reinstatement appeal fee of $200 (exclude GST)
  • Late fee of $30 (exclude GST)

(All fees indicated are subject to prevailing GST)

There is no further waiver of the late payment fee as successful applicants will only be required to pay a one-off late fee of $30 (exclude GST) instead of paying late fee for every subscription year.
