I am the Compliance Manager at a firm and we have a recently recruited a new staff member who has records to show that she has completed 15 hours of CPD (4 those hours being compliance). My question is, does this mean the staff member will only need to complete another 5 hours of CPD, 4 of those hours being compliance – so it makes up 20 hours of CPD, 8 of which being compliance hours? We are only half way through the CPD year.

I’ve recently undertaken study and exams to become an ASX Cash Market DTR. How many CPD points do I get and if so, how many are compliance CPD?

My employer runs regular training programs on our internal IT systems, research, back office IT etc. Will these produce CPD hours?
