From kimberly.sisk at state.or.us Tue May 8 11:06:41 2012 From: kimberly.sisk at state.or.us (SISK Kimberly * BOA) Date: Tue, 8 May 2012 11:06:41 -0700 Subject: [Boainactive] Oregon Board of Accountancy - New Procedure for Renewals Message-ID: <59566586C62A594FB9289EC72814365F065C51D8@exchnode01.ad.state.or.us> Dear Licensee, As you are aware, inactive licensees are now required to report CPE to maintain their license. For even-numbered individuals renewing in 2012, 8 hours are required. The Oregon Board of Accountancy has implemented a new procedure beginning with the 2012 renewal cycle. A copy of each of your CPE proof of completion certificates must be submitted with your renewal application form. Renewal applications will be mailed to all holders of even-numbered licenses approximately May 21. Please begin gathering your documents now so you will be able renew on or before the June 30 deadline. Please note, if you have an odd-numbered license, this will not affect you until 2013.

The new procedure is related to the upcoming launch of our new online licensing system. We anticipate that the new system will be launched prior to the close of the upcoming renewal period. Some licensees will undoubtedly renew on the new system, while others will choose paper renewal. We believe that the requirements should be the same for either option. The new system will enable licensees to upload CPE certificates as they are received. (Some licensees have told us they look forward to this feature as it will lessen the risk of misplacing certificates and the necessity of having to locate them or obtain duplicates at renewal time.) The new system will also streamline the audit process and enable the Board to audit CPE reports in a matter of days, instead of taking several months to a year as it has in the old manual process. The volume of e-mails and phone calls we have received in response to our notification is far greater than our small staff can respond to in a timely manner. We sincerely desire to know of, and respond to, your questions and concerns. We will review the inquiries we have received in the coming days. We will then compile and disseminate as much information as we can to address the issues that you have raised. We are very sorry for the confusion and angst our notice has caused for some licensees. Please be patient with us as we go through the transition to a new automated system, which will greatly enhance our ability to serve you. Thank you. Pat L. Patrick Hearn, Executive Director Oregon Board of Accountancy 3218 Pringle Rd SE Ste 110 Salem OR 97302 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Proof of Completions can be sent electronically Message-ID: <59566586C62A594FB9289EC72814365F065C5371@exchnode01.ad.state.or.us> As you are aware, the Board has a new requirement that licensees submit their proof of completion forms for each CPE Course taken. If you would like to send these documents electronically, you may do so by sending via email to: boa.info at state.or.us. The attachment should be in .pdf format, as the state will not allow us to accept zipped files. Please put your license number and name in the subject line so that we can better track, and if possible, the date you mailed your renewal in. You of course can mail in copies of your proof of completions, together with your renewal application. You can find information on CPE requirements, including the required information for proof of completions, by reviewing OAR Chapter 801, Division 040: http://www.oregon.gov/BOA/docs/2012Div040.pdf If you have any questions, please call Katherine at 503.378.2270. The Board appreciates your assistance as we transition into the online licensing system, and combine the renewal and audit into one process.
