Audit
The College is required to audit a percentage of Fellows annually to ensure the maintenance of a high quality program. The aim of this audit is to ensure the Fellowship is professionally engaged, hence facilitating improved service and patient care.
Selection Process
From the list of those eligible to participate in the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program (College Fellows and Education Affiliates); five per cent are randomly selected to be audited for that year. The five per cent are then contacted and informed they are have been randomly selected for Audit and are given approximately six weeks to send their verification to the College. Once that verification is received, each Audit participant is sent a confirmation letter.
Aim of the Audit
By analysing the audit data we are endeavouring to answer these four questions:
1. Was a claim made for activity X?
2. If a claim was made, was it made correctly?
3. Did the participant attempt to verify this activity?
4. If verification was provided, was it the correct verification?
Part of the objective of the audit process is to ascertain the feasibility and rigour of the CPD program requirements and if necessary, amend these accordingly. It is also to assist CPD participants in determining the correct way to claim and verify CPD activities.
