Continuing Professional Education (CPE)

Webinar

As Certified ICBUSA members, you are committed to the continuing development of professional skills. You also secure your status as a leader among professional bookkeepers in the USA.

  1. Continuing Professional Education (CPE) is defined as the systematic maintenance, enhancement and continuous improvement of the knowledge, skills and ability, often termed ‘competence’, that one needs to work as a professionally qualified bookkeeper. There are two components to CPE:

    1. Update CPE, which ensures professional competence and prevents technical obsolescence within the member’s field of work.

    2. Developmental CPE, which provides new knowledge, broadens skills and opens up career opportunities.

  2. There will be a requirement of 40 CPE credit hours per year to satisfy the Professional Certification for MICB and MasterBookkeeper (FICB) members. The split will be 20 hours structured/verifable and 20 hours of independent study.

  3. The ICBUSA CPE program requires our members to incorporate both components in their CPE Program. It is the responsibility of each MICB and MasterBookkeeper (FICB) member to maintain Update and Development CPE’s demanded by their role and the needs of those to whom they provide a service.

  4. This program is self-monitored and will require the member to upload CPE information to their MYICB account for review at the request of ICBUSA. It will be the responsibility of the Member to update and keep on hand CPE logs and verifiable documentation for CPE credits for a minmum of 3 years.
