CPE
Deadlines, Extensions and CPE Reporting Deadline - Continuing Professional Education is to be secured within the calendar year. The postmark deadline for filing the CPE Reporting Form for the current calendar year is January 31st of the following year. CPE Reporting Forms will be mailed to all licensed CPAs in late November. The Board encourages those CPAs who have met their CPE requirements to return the Reporting Form as soon as possible after receipt. Licensees who fail to report by the January 31 postmark deadline are subject to a late filing fee of $110.00 which must be paid before one will be eligible for license renewal. Extension Request - A request for an Extension of time to secure CPE hours for the previous calendar year may be made by filing the Extension Request Form with the $55.00 fee by the January 31 postmark deadline. You must also complete and include the CPE Reporting Form. If an Extension Request is made after January 31, the Extension Request Fee is $110.00 (if made by June 30th). Extension Requests made after June 30 will be increased by $55.00 per month, (i.e., July = $110.00, August = $165.00, etc.). Extension requests will not be granted beyond June 1st each year to allow sufficient time for license renewals to be mailed. A licensee who has failed to secure the number of CPE credit hours as required will not be granted a license renewal until CPE compliance has been met. A CPE Extension does not negate other Board deadlines (e.g., license renewal late fee and the necessity for making Application for Reinstatement of License if license renewal is received after July 31). Request for Waiver - A licensee who has not met the CPE requirements due to extenuating circumstances may apply to the Board for a CPE waiver by the January 31 postmark deadline. Extenuating circumstances include, but are not limited to: a long-term illness, severe injury or active duty military deployment.
IMPORTANT CPE NOTICE - March 2007 It has come to
the attention of the Board that the American Center for Continuing
Professional Education (ACCPE) is marketing self-study and on-line
programming to West Virginia CPAs and that many of you have received
brochures and discount coupons. Several West Virginia CPAs have
claimed CPE credit for self-study courses secured through the ACCPE. |
