The words relevant and verifiable are used a lot – who determines what constitutes these – how are they qualified to do so?
The term verifiable has simply replaced the term structured in the terminology used when the standard setting bodies, such as IFAC, talk about CPD. Basically it means that you can prove you have undertaken a CPD activity, such as attended a seminar rather than technical reading, for example, where you have no proof that you have undertaken an activity. Relevant is used a lot as it is important that members undertake CPD that is relevant to their role and future development. At the end of the day, it is the member’s responsibility to look after their career development and to use their judgment to make decisions on the relevance of your CPD activities.
