高顿网校小编为您解答关于：I serve on a number of committees of the Hong Kong Institute of CPAs and other professional bodies. Some can be classified as technical committees, some cannot. Can this activity qualify for CPD hours?
 
　　Ans：Yes, participation in technical committees for professional bodies (with supporting documents by a competent source) qualifies as verifiable CPD. The cardinal principle of considering what are relevant CPD activities is whether such activities are relevant to individual's work as a CPA. These learning activities should enhance and broaden the relevant knowledge and skills to enable a CPA to competently carry out his or her professional duties and responsibilities.  CPD credit is counted on actual basis, including preparation work and attendance to the committee meetings.
 
　　For participation in non-technical or other committees, the maximum verifiable CPD hours claimed for a year is 4 (with supporting documents by a competent source). The granting of CPD credits aims to encourage members' development of soft skills such as communication, presentation, negotiation, time management skill, etc. which are essential competencies relevant to members' work and professional responsibilities nowadays.
