CPE Credit

DSCPA programs qualify for credit toward the Delaware State Board of Accountancy continuing education requirement. Credit is given only for the actual classroom hours attended by a participant.

The DSCPA reserves the right to verify attendance at any time during its programs and will grant credit only for that portion of the course for which the attendee is present. For this purpose, fifty (50) minutes of class equals one (1) hour of CPE credit.

In order to receive CPE credit, each attendee must sign in at registration and sign out at the conclusion of the course and submit a completed evaluation form. Proof of CPE credit will be distributed at the conclusion of the course or will be mailed to participants shortly thereafter. If you find it necessary to leave a course early, notify the DSCPA on-site representative and sign out. It is permissible to claim less than the total number of credit hours offered by a course. Individuals who do not complete these forms will receive zero CPE hours for the program.

Participants may not use electronic devices of any kind. Laptops, cellular phones, and any other electronic devices must be turned off in the classroom. Please be respectful of your fellow participants and the instructor. The reading of outside material, etc. is distracting and disrespectful. Please do not leave your professionalism at the office. The DSCPA reserves the right to alter CPE credits for participants who do not comply.

The DSCPA is an approved CPE sponsor in Pennsylvania holding sponsor number PX-002081-L.

The DSCPA is an approved CPE sponsor in New Jersey holding sponsor number CE 1759.
