How the scheme is monitored
To ensure that the results are fair and authenticated, CIPFA will monitor the scheme.
A sample of around 10% of employers will be selected at random. A visit by a representative from the Education and Membership Directorate will seek evidence to verify the answers given on the self-certification form.
We have a three-year review cycle to ensure that in addition to regular support, we will contact you when your review is due for re-accreditation.
