(Q1) In 250 words explain how you feel CPD
has helped you in
your professional development as a rural
business administrator ?
(Q2) In 250 words why do you feel CPD is
important to rural business administrators
and for IAgSA becoming
a recognised professional body?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwHpLDgWonM
Rural businesses and farmers in
particular are generally very good
at the practical side of their
business but not always so good in
the office. It is therefore important
for rural business administrators to
keep up to date with an ever
changing industry and CPD has
helped this to happen.
Dorrie Campbell
CPD has become an essential component, through attending sessions and
by tailoring them to suit my learning needs they become a real value to the
business. –
Julie Hadlow
CPD inspired me to gain more skills and knowledge and
together with the vision and strength that IAgSA can offer
I was more determined than ever to become a farm
business administrator.
Clare Wise – Total Farm Solutions
In line with other professional
organisations IAgSA membership
provides a very good structure for and
encourages CPD. The evidence of
ongoing training from IAgSA CPD records
allows the promotion of members as the
top professionals within the industry. It
gives confidence to the users of the
services provided by an IAgSA member
and improves credence of the members
within wider professional organisations. –
Julie Tucker
CPD has helped me in my
professional development by giving
me a framework in which to review my
current knowledge and skills, and
identify what I need to do in order to
get them to a level to ensure I deliver
an efficient and effective service as a
rural business administrator –
Jane Sellier
Completing an annual CPD is the
hallmark of a professional who is
passionate about the work they are
undertaking and therefore I feel that
IAgSA should become a recognised
body to implement this professionalism
within the agricultural business sector
Margaret Flood
CPD is imperative in keeping me one
step ahead and importantly it keeps me
flexible and professional. CPD has
given me the confidence to expand my
role and more importantly, ensures I am
providing the best service to my
employer. IAgSA’s continuing emphasis
on CPD will keep us going forward, to
embrace change, to drive progress and
to provide direction for rural
administrators.
Donna Armstrong
I believe it is essential for IAgSA to become
a recognised professional body as our jobs are far more
detailed than 30 years ago and we have to have far more
qualifications, experience and knowledge of the farming
industry then when I first started as a secretary. We must
have the ability to have access to IAgSA for the new young people who
wishes to continue within our profession so that they too will have the ability
to have and gain the
experiences that they will require to become an excellent
rural farm administrator for the future in farming.

WHY HAVE A CPD REQUIRMENT?
“Such a requirement contributes to the
profession’s objective of providing high-quality
services to meet the needs of the public
(including clients and employers).”
INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF ACCOUNTANTS
PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
“Continued development of professional
competence and life long learning are critical if
the professional rural business administrator is
to meet industry expectations.
IAgSA has a responsibility to ensure that you
continue to develop and maintain the
competence demanded by your professional
role and the users of your services.”
