Authentication Standard Information Sessions Underway Now—Online and Across Province
An intensive series of information sessions is underway to receive feedback and share details about a draft of APEGA’s Practice Standard for Authenticating Professional Documents —a standard that addresses one of the most talked-about challenges members face in their careers, particularly in the digital space. The draft is the result of a thorough review by a group of professional members brought together for the job, the Authentication Standard Subject-Matter Expert Panel. The sessions, which continue until November 1, are a critical stage in the review process. Members are en- couraged to register, review our online materials (includ- ing the draft), and participate in our survey.
