CPE Information

As part of WACUBO's ongoing commitment to professional development, we are among the newest members of the National Registry of CPE Sponsors!

WACUBO's inclusion in this registry means that units offered through participation in WACUBO programs automatically meet the standards set forth by such professional organizations as the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), among others.

This approval recognizes the high level of quality of WACUBO's programming. Members that have attained, or are working to attain, professional designations such as: CPA, CIA, CFA, CFE, and CMA, will have the opportunity to accumulate CPEs. Previously, those wishing to accumulate "CPEs" were required to document their participation in WACUBO programs and self-report to their certifying organization.

Access Your CPE Certificate

Updated CPE Tracking Software as of January 1, 2022

WACUBO is excited to announce we have partnered with a web-based tool called Conferences i/o to help us track attendance and issue CPE certificates for all virtual and in-person WACUBO professional development events.

For those who attend and wish to obtain CPE credits during the event, please review the short tutorial videos below on how our new CPE tracking software will assist you in earning your CPEs. For successful CPE tracking, WACUBO is asking that you bring a mobile device (phone or tablet) or a laptop computer in order to access this web-based tracking software.

All certificates will be emailed to those who earned CPE credits during any WACUBO workshop. If you misplaced your certificate or need a new copy, please email the WACUBO office with this request. Certificates issued after January 1, 2020, will be stored in WACUBO's archives on your behalf.
