To earn the recommended CPE hours offered for each course, you must (1) sign-in at registration and (2) submit a signed copy of your CPE form at the conclusion of the course. We will retain the white copy of your CPE form and you will leave with the yellow copy. We retain CPE records electronically indefinitely and physically for three years. Evaluations are collected at the end of the program.
The GWSCPA is an approved CPE provider according to the District of Columbia Board of Accountancy Municipal regulations section 2531.2. Individual state boards of accountancy have final authority on the acceptance of individual courses for CPE credit.
Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Classes often reach capacity before the program date. If a course you wish to register for is full, you will be provided the option to add your name to a waitlist in case of cancellation or to be notified if we add another section of this course. If you would prefer to register by phone, fax or mail, please contact us at 202-464-6001. Walk-in registrations on the day of the program are discouraged and only accepted if space allows and full payment is provided upon arrival.
Unless otherwise noted, the course registration fee includes instructions, course materials, and refreshments as noted below. GWSCPA members and members of other state CPA Societies are eligible for the member discount. If you wish to become a member of the GWSCPA join here. All AICPA members are eligible for an additional $30 discount on all AICPA courses as well and you must note your AICPA membership during registration.
Payment is accepted online via MC, VISA, Discover or AMEX. You may pay via check or government purchase order as long as payment is received 5 business days prior to the event. Payment by check or credit card is also accepted onsite with prior registration, but we do not accept cash payment onsite.

All registrations should be received by the GWSCPA at least 10 business days before the program as we need sufficient time to prepare course materials and order catering. We will work very hard to ensure all courses on our calendar remain as scheduled. However, if a sufficient number of registrations have not been received by that time, the course may be cancelled. If this occurs, the GWSCPA will issue a full refund for those registered for the course or allow you to apply a credit to a future course during that fiscal year.
The GWSCPA will reschedule a session due to inclement weather only if federal government offices are closed or if the instructor’s travel is interrupted by inclement weather. The GWSCPA will do our best to notify all registrants by 7 AM on the day of a course if it has been cancelled due to inclement weather, but please also check local media for federal office closures. If the event must be rescheduled due to inclement weather and you are unable to attend the rescheduled event or another current fiscal year event, the GWSCPA will issue a full refund. Any major event (such as a conference) scheduled at an offsite venue (such as a hotel) will only be cancelled due to a catastrophic event, and will proceed as scheduled during inclement weather unless public transportation has been suspended and/or the venue forces cancellation.
If you are unable to attend a seminar or conference, please notify us as soon as possible. The cancellation and refund schedule is as follows:
More than 5 business days before the program, you may:
3-5 business days before the program, you may:
2 business days or less before the program, you may:
* Non-member substitutes will be charged the fee difference if they are substituting for a member-discounted registration
Refunds in the same form of tender as the original purchase minus the processing fee. Payments made by check will be refunded via check within 30 days of cancellation.
