Publications eligible under 4° of Article A. 822-28-3 are taken into account in the year of their legal deposit.
For essays, books and publications of articles, the following two cumulative criteria are retained:
1° Content:
The published works must deal with subjects relating to technical matters with a link to the activity of statutory auditor, professional ethics or regulations.
2° Form:
All publications considered must contain a minimum of 10,000 signs including spaces, excluding titles, headings, abstracts and intertitles. The equivalence is set at three hours of training for 10,000 signs thus defined. An update corresponds to one third of this equivalence.
The statutory auditor shall keep at least one original copy of the book or journal that hosted its publication, and shall produce it, if requested, during audits of compliance with the training obligation.
