AGA adheres to the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) standards for CPE programs, which requires an attendance verification process for all events. Please follow the steps below for your CPE credits.

During virtual sessions, you will be required to click on a series of alertness checks that appear at random times. When these alertness check boxes appear, you will have a short period of time to click on the “Submit” button. To receive CPE credit, you must pass a number of alertness checks, see below.  

1 CPE credit = passing 3 alertness checks

Participants who successfully complete this process will receive an email within two (2) weeks stating their CPE certificate is ready to be downloaded. 

NOTE: You must be able to view the Zoom screen to confirm your participation with the CPE Alertness Checks. 

Announcing the alertness checks to fellow attendees in the chat box is against NASBA policy and you may be ineligible to earn the CPE credits for the summit.

CPE for Speaker’s Preparation Time:

Speakers, instructors and discussion leaders may be eligible for CPE credit for their preparation and presentation time to the extent the activities maintain or improve their professional competence and meet the requirements of applicable CPE standards/policies. AGA can issue CPE credit to instructors for their preparation time upon request. Instructors wanting this CPE documentation need to track their own preparation time and submit this information to AGA at meetings@agacgfm.org within 10 days of their presentation.

In accordance with NASBA standards, speakers who present a learning activity for the first time may receive CPE credit for actual preparation time, up to two times the number of CPE credits to which participants would be entitled, in addition to the time for presentation, subject to regulations and maximums established by the boards of accountancy. CGFM CPE policies have a similar provision for speakers, as long as the CPEs are applicable towards CGFM and are within the 40-hour maximum number of CPE hours granted to an individual as a speaker or course developer for any two-year period. For more information/guidance, please refer to NASBA standards, CGFM CPE policies or another applicable entity.
