Annual Return
Step-by-Step Guide for Annual CPD Return Submissions
This guide provides a straightforward process for submitting your Annual CPD Return. It covers accessing your CPD log, verifying and logging CPD hours, submitting the return, and handling post-submission activities. The document outlines key deadlines and steps to ensure your CPD compliance is accurately recorded and confirmed.
- Log in to the LIA member portal.
- Go to your dashboard and click “CPD Log” (or select “Log CPD” under the CPD Resources menu).
- Review the CPD hours already recorded under each category relevant to your designation(s).
- For any CPD activities that are not automatically recorded for you by LIA, ensure you have logged them yourself before submitting your Annual Return.
- If you have completed any LIA CPD (e.g. Live online or in-person events, on-demand webinars, the Annual Update manual), those hours should already appear and no further action needed.
- Once you are satisfied that all relevant CPD hours are logged, scroll to the bottom of your CPD log and click “Submit Annual Return”.
- You will receive an automated confirmation email to confirm your submission.
- Please note that your official Compliance Report is not released until after the Annual Return Submission deadline of 31st January has passed.
- If you complete additional CPD (that pertains to the previous CPD year) before 31 December, you may log these hours and resubmit your Annual Return anytime up until 31 January.
- To do this: add the new CPD hours, then scroll down and click the “Resubmit” button.
- If you need to request a pro-rata of CPD hours, complete the pro-rata online application form available on LIA’s website.
- Completion of CPD: 31st December each year
- Annual Return Submission deadline: 31st January each year.
- After the deadline of the 31st January, your official Compliance Report will be issued by email.
- Thereafter. members may be selected for random audit of their CPD return.
