One you have achieved your RPA, FMA, your designation stays active and your knowledge stays current – through Continuing Professional Development (CPD).  The CPD requirement provides evidence of your commitment to professional development, proving to your supervisors that you are keeping pace with the industry to ensure continued success in the future.
