Past offences, findings, and conduct
Section 15 of the Act requires applicants to be of good character. To assess an applicant’s good character, NBAREA reviews information about past offences, findings, and conduct. As part of the designation process for AIC or CNAREA (see education requirements), applicants must provide a criminal record check. In addition, the application form includes relevant questions about an applicant’s conduct (history of charges, convictions, discipline, findings of professional misconduct or incompetence).
Professional Liability Insurance
Under NBAREA’s by-laws, all applicants and members must provide proof of professional liability insurance in the amount of $2,000,000 in order to be eligible for ongoing registration.
