Guidance on CPD compliance arising from COVID-19 business disruption

20 Mar 2020
From

FASEA recognises the challenges presented by COVID-19. Importantly FASEA understands that delivery of face to face CPD offerings may be difficult.

FASEA encourages Licensees to take a supportive approach to compliance in these extraordinary circumstances.

FASEA understands that effective solutions are being offered by Licensee CPD programs that contain online learning as part of a led or conducted CPD program. Video conferencing and/or webinar technology options are appropriate alternatives to face to face offerings.

Licensee CPD policies are required to include potential relief provisions to assist the needs of advisers affected by extenuating circumstances (including medical). Advisers affected in this way should consider contacting their Licensee to determine the most appropriate approach to their individual position.

In the current extraordinary circumstance licensees will no doubt be reviewing and, where appropriate, adjusting their CPD policy to include appropriate provisions.
