20% of member programs are randomly chosen each year for audit. The purpose of the audit is to ensure that the individual registered member is complying with the program requirements, and to ensure that ACSLPA monitors, adjusts and modifies the CCP program to reflect current practice. If you are selected for audit you will be notified.
The CCP is tethered to renewal. If you have not completed your goal and reflection for the current year, you will not be able to progress to the next step in renewal. You will not be able to complete your renewal if all portions of your CCP have not been completed. This could impact your ability to practice in the coming year.
