CPD credits may include verifiable and/or non-verifiable credits.
Verifiable CPD credits are those, which are easily proven such as a receipt to a fraud conference, which clearly displays the name of the organization, which sponsored the conference, the conference type, topics or subjects attended, and the date of the conference.
Non-verifiable CPD credits would be those where a member developed a seminar and then subsequently presented it. The time to develop the seminar would not be verifiable whereas the duration of the seminar would most likely be determinable.
