All CPA Members must make their CPE Annual Return for 2009 by 31st January 2010.

Why do I have to make a CPE Annual Return?

Institute members are required to make an Annual CPE Return in by the 31st January of each year, in accordance with Institute Bye-Laws. 

This Return details CPE activity for the preceding year.  The CPE Return Form is now an online process and has been re-formatted to provide members with information on CPE courses completed with the Institute.  Courses completed with external bodies should be detailed on the online form and submitted as part of the CPE return for the preceeding year.

How do I make my CPE Annual Return?

To make your annual return please go to www.cpaireland.ie and log in with your user name which is your member number. This will prompt you for your password.

If you have forgotten your password please click on the "password reminder" link on the login page and it will be emailed to the email address we have on file for you.

Please note that Employment Details must be updated before the CPE Return can be made. To update your employment details please go to My CPA Profile, select the Employment History tab and add your employment details (If your employer organisation does not exist please add it by clicking on the Add New button).

To make your annual CPE Return click on Step 2: Submit your CPE Return, and then click the Add New CPE Return button. It will create Return for the year you want to submit and you will be able to see all the courses you have done with CPA.

To add non CPA courses fill in the box called course* with the course name and, the box called hours* with amount of hours (under Structured hours) and click Add. You need to add these courses one by one.

The same principles apply to Unstructured hours.
