Remedial Resources Inventory

This inventory is for BEFA applicants who are required to undertake remedial actions.


The document provides BEFA assessors and applicants with options to support remediation of deficiencies identified during the interview phase of the BEFA Program.


It is intended to facilitate and standardize the assignment of remedies that are sometimes required at the completion of an applicant’s interview.

Mentorship Videos

The videos on Mentorship have been developed to support the proposed Mentorship process which has not been formally adopted. It is expected that the BEFA Mentorship program will be accepted by the regulators in 2025.

The videos are being posted for general information only. Those viewing are advised that the CACB will not be responding to questions or advising on the Mentorship program until it has been formally adopted by the ROAC.
