1. Q: What is the recommended length of time a sponsor should retain records?
A: Since the reporting period is three years in length, and the Board's continuing education verification process occurs at the end of a three-year reporting period, a continuing education sponsor should retain the applicable attendance or completion records for a period of four years.

2. Q: Must a CPE sponsor register with the Accountancy Board?
A: No. CPE sponsor registration in Ohio is voluntary.

3. Q: How does a sponsor renew with the Accountancy Board?
A: All sponsors are listed on the Board's Web site with the renewal date following. No renewal notices will be mailed to sponsors. First-time CPE sponsors or sponsors whose registrations have expired must download a copy of the then current sponsor registration form (Adobe PDF format) and send it to the Board. CPE sponsors may renew electronically.
