What’s the role of the ATO in RPE?
The ATO plays a pivotal role in monitoring a student’s practical training and helping to prepare them for qualification and becoming a future member of ICAS. In delivering practical training, the ATO ensures that:
- Students can seek guidance and advice on matters relating to their practical training.
- Student's practical training is properly monitored, guided and verified.
- The working environment is such that students develop the professional and ethical attitudes expected of ICAS members.
RPE must include sufficient exposure to the nature of the role, undertaking the real-life work of a financial organisation. The range of RPE is determined by factors such as a complexity and variety of tasks fit for purpose, as well as the level of supervision and support.
Understanding the key logbook roles
The counselling member, reviewer and training principal all play a direct role in supervising, mentoring and coaching students. They also play a pivotal role in monitoring practical training and helping to prepare students towards becoming qualified CAs.
Students can manage their designated reviewer and counselling member
Students can easily view, change and manage their designated reviewer and counselling member directly from the logbook. If a reviewer and counselling member are the same person, we advise students to designate them as a counselling member only.
