2022 CPE Reporting:

As a reminder, all licensed CPAs with a CPE requirement are required to earn 2022 CPE hours by December 31, 2022 and submit the 2022 CPE Report Form by January 31, 2023 or your renewal will not be valid and complete.  There is an Ethics requirement for 2022.

Only those CPAs who are renewing as Active need to report CPE.  If you are changing to or renewing as Inactive or Retired, there is no CPE reporting requirement for 2022 in order to renew for 2023.

Didn’t get your notice?

If you do not receive your reminder notice and need login information, did you move or change employers and forget to tell the Board?  You can click on the “Online Renewals” button above and select “Forgot User ID?” at the bottom of the ACCESS Your Account window.  Your User ID will be emailed to you after responding to the questions.  You can also reset your password in a similar manner by selecting “Forgot Password?”


Expired Certificates 

If your CPA license has been expired for more than one year, please contact the Board’s office for information on how to reinstate an expired license.


NOTE:  Licensed CPAs who no longer practice and wish to renew as INACTIVE status and be exempted from CPE should email the Board at
sitemaster@cpaboard.state.la.us with the following information – your name and certificate number for confirmation – in order for us to update the database. After the database has been updated, you must renew your inactive status online or by paper.  There is no application fee to change to INACTIVE status.

Please note that if you decide to reinstate to ACTIVE status in the future, the Board’s current reinstatement requirements include completion of 120 hours of continuing professional education within the past 3 years from reinstatement PLUS one year of work experience within the past 4 years from reinstatement which must be verified by an active-licensed CPA.  You should contact the Board at that time for information.

 

CPAs who no longer practice and wish to apply as CPA-RETIRED status and be exempted from CPE should review the information found on the “Forms & Links” page.  You cannot “renew” into that status – you must apply.
