The Board conducts random audits of continuing-competence compliance. Licensees must respond to an Audit Notice within 30 days with documentary evidence; a deficiency of 10 or fewer points must be made up within 90 days. Failure to respond or provide evidence subjects the licensee to disciplinary action (21 NCAC 48G .0110, .0601(a)(10)); the Board may decline to renew licenses for failure to comply with continuing-competency measures.Verify with board
