MEMBERSHIP REGISTRATION
PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS' TRAINING GUIDELINES
A new competency-based framework for practical experience requirement to define more accurately the types of skills that individuals should acquire during the period of practical experience before becoming a member of the Institute will be adopted, on a voluntary basis, on 1 September 2002. Mandatory implementation will occur on 1 January 2005. The new framework will bring closer the relationship between prospective members, their supervisors, employers and the Institute under a supervised training environment.
Details of the new framework are contained in the Prospective Members' Training Guidelines.

Under the new framework, in line with practices of many overseas professional accountancy bodies, a more structured system of practical experience supervision and guidance is introduced. The scheme involves the Institute accrediting employers on a corporate level so that they have a clear understanding of their obligations in ensuring that prospective members attain the appropriate type and level of practical experience for membership admission.
