All Members who undertake valuations of Australian property and wish to retain the CPV designation are required to undertake an Institute approved Risk Management Module every three years in accordance with bylaw 21.3.6, unless residing permanently overseas. New members who undertake valuations must also complete the Risk Management Module in the first 12 months of their membership.

The Risk Management Module aims to cover best practice, better communication, better client selection, the stages of valuation, principles of law and an awareness of insurance issues. The involvement of DLA Piper at the development and delivery stages will ensure recent case studies and practical examples will be examined, to provide members with a practical approach to managing risk.
