During the last week in June, a letter containing information regarding the license
renewal process will be sent out to all CPAs with an odd numbered license. The
online renewal system will be turned on July 1st at 10AM. The renewal fee remains
at $100, however CPAs will be responsible for paying the portal fee that was
previously paid for by the Board. A license that is not renewed byAugust 1st will
automatically expire. Beginning August 2nd through September 1st, a license may
be renewed using the online system, but the fee will increase to $200. Effective
September 2nd, a license may not be renewed. Instead, CPAs must submit a paper
application to reinstate their license.
CPAs due to renew their license this year should conrm they obtained the
necessary CPE hours. These hours must have been completed from January 1,
2013 through December 31, 2014. During the online renewal process, CPAs will
be required to afrm they fullled the CPE requirements by December 31, 2014.
CPAs found to have falsely asserted they completed the hours will be subject to
disciplinary action.
CPAs who changed their mailing or email address following the 2013 renewal
process must submit an address change form located on www.cpa.ky.gov as soon
as possible. Each year during the renewal process, a number of emails and letters
are returned due to the failure of CPAs to update this information.
