What the document covers
The direction replaces a mandatory three-day regulatory course with training targeted at identified inspection deficiencies. It emphasises matching remediation to the accountant's actual findings.
Specific requirements and implications
The replacement applies to PAOC orders issued from 22 February 2022 and revokes the 2009 direction for the older course. Qualifying training can be provided by professional bodies, external providers or internally by the firm. It must involve formal participation in structured courses or conferences. Mentoring, technical writing and informal reading do not count as that prescribed remedial training merely because they may support professional development.
