Arkansas Accounting (CPA) CE audits & penalties
What happens if a certified public accountant misses CE requirements in Arkansas, and how the board checks compliance — sourced from the official board.
Failure to apply for and pay the license renewal fee by July 1 results in suspension of the license as long as the application and fee are delinquent; reinstatement is automatic once the registration fee plus the delinquent renewal fee are paid. If a licensee fails for three consecutive years to pay the fee, the board must cancel the license without hearing or notice, subject to reinstatement.Verify with board
