4) Provide CMA Alberta with your CPLD reporting form or online CPLD report and supporting documentation if you are randomly selected for audit.

CPLD Online Reporting

CMA Alberta members can choose to either complete a manual CPLD form or record activities online. The online system will provide you with a history of your entries, which may be printed in a report format for your personal use. Whether you enter your credits online or choose to complete the CPLD manual reporting form, you must retain supporting documentation for a period of two fiscal years as all CPLD is subject to audit.

The online reporting tool is not monitored by CMA Alberta but is provided as an additional resource for members.
