	I am holding certificate of practice since Jan., 2013. Prior to that I was in Industry. I have completed the CPE hour requirements for the current year. As regards the period in Industry, I was told that the CPE requirement was optional. I have completed the requirement for the year 2013. Now I have received a letter from Institute which indicates that even for the period in Industry, members are required to complete the requirement for the block of 2011-13. Please advise the correct position.
