Guidelines for Committee Meetings Requesting CPE Credit

In order for the session to qualify for Continuing Professional Education credit, the following requirements must be followed.

   * Programs may be 1 or 2 CPE hours in length. A CPE credit hour is equivalent to 50 contact minutes.

   * The committee chair must provide the FAE staff with the announcements/advertisements for the program six (6) weeks prior to the program date (See attached request form). Staff will publicize the session on nysscpa.org (NYSSCPA's on-line service) and distribute it to the committee.

   * FAE will assign a separate course code number for each session and will provide a specific registration form. A registration form will be posted along with the announcement on the website and Onsite Registration will be distributed on the day of the program.

   * All sessions are open to the general membership. Therefore, everyone (including committee members) must register in advance to secure a seat.

   * Space is limited, especially when programs are scheduled in a committee room. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, so the FAE recommends registering at least 10 days prior to the session.

   * Only those members in attendance that print their names on that attendance roster wishing to receive CPE credit for committee-sponsored sessions will be given CPE credit for that particular session.

   * The committee chair or committee coordinator is responsible for administering all Committee CPE sessions and will distribute CPE credit slips only to those people in attendance. For proper documentation by FAE, at the end of the program, the committee chair or committee coordinator must drop off at the Reception Desk, only the materials pertaining to the CPE program, which includes: all credit slips accompanied by the attendance sign-in sheet; evaluations and course materials).

   * In order to accommodate your audiovisual needs, please submit your AV request no later than 10 business days prior to the date of the program.

   * An attendee sign-in sheet, preprinted CPE credit slips (only for those pre-registrants), blank CPE credit slips, evaluations and course material will be prepared and given to the Committee Chair.

   * Each registrant must complete and turn in an evaluation form or credit may be denied.
