The CPE Reporting Florida form is a crucial document for licensed accountants in Florida, ensuring compliance with continuing professional education requirements. This form must be completed after all required CPE hours have been achieved during the reestablishment period, which ends on June 30. It must be postmarked by July 15 to avoid a late fee. The form collects essential information, including the licensee's name, license number, mailing address, and social security number. It also requires detailed reporting of CPE hours, categorized by type, such as accounting and auditing, ethics, and behavioral subjects. Each course listed must include the completion date, sponsor name, and whether it was a self-study course. The form emphasizes the importance of accuracy, requiring licensees to certify that the information provided is true and correct. Incomplete forms will be returned, so careful attention to detail is necessary. Furthermore, the form must be signed and dated, and any address changes must be reported separately to the Board. Overall, this document serves as a key tool for maintaining professional standards in the accounting field.
