The Board only accepts private or governmental experience if the experience is in a commercial or governmental organization which has an approved experience sponsorship agreement with the Board. Your experience may be considered if the private firm or government agency has a similar agreement with the original state. The course is a requirement for certification. The CPE requirement starts with the issue date of your original certificate and CPE completed before that date will not qualify. My company is installing a new computer system.
Any formal program can qualify.
Yes, if it is a formal program deemed to increase your professional competency and you have documentation of course information and credit earned verified by signature of someone who can verify your attendance. Certification and license records for Washington CPAs are permanent. However, reinstatement generally requires current CPE and fees. If you hold a certificate only, check the notification card you received from the Board at your last renewal. This card states the date your certificate expires.
