"It is what it advertised to be”

It is what it advertised to be. Professional quality training and CPE tracking and certificates; systems knows AZ CPA CPE requirements and categories. I've needed help on several occasions and the assistance was quick and effective; however, there were some problems with data entry. The assistance sometimes asks for input, but when I try to type it is dissallowed for some reason. On several occasions I had to close the popup to get it out of my way.

Inside This Article

Simply holding the designation is not enough for CVAs, where compliances, regulations, and industry demand change dynamically. Obtaining new skills through continuing education is an essential part of their career journey.

If you are a CVA or aiming to get certified, be sure to bookmark the blog to learn everything you must know about CVA CPE requirements.

Certified Valuation Analyst is an established standard for professionals to occupy the designation and demonstrate their expertise in valuation. And continuing education is the opportunity to remain competitive, informed, and relevant.

CPE is not just a formality but a mandatory requirement by NACVA for renewing and actively maintaining their licenses.

KEY Takeaway

Quick CPE facts

The CVA recertification cycle follows the Calendar year.
CVA needs 60 CPE hours every three years accompanied by a $ 400 recertification fee.
Waive off a $ 400 recertification fee with Recommended CPE Bonus Point Programs.
All 3 Recertification Reporting Options are to be completed through CPE Bonus Point Programs.

What are CVA CPE Requirements?

CVA follows the calendar year for its CPE license renewal cycle triennially. In other words, CVAs need to recertify their credibility every three years on 31 December. If you were certified as a CVA in July 2023, your recertification cycle will start on January 1, 2024.

CPE Requirement for Practicing Professionals

As outlined by NACVA, CVA professionals need to complete 60 points or 60 CPE hours of CPE credit every three years to comply with their certification. It’s important to note that these requirements do not include mandatory ethics courses, and they are also not allowed to carry forward their credit points.

They are also required to complete 24 hours of Recommended CPE Bonus Point Programs or submit their CPE form with a $400 fee.

Well, there are a combination of options available to complete the recertification requirement hereunder.

CPE Options	CPE Credit	Bonus Point Program	Recertification Fee
Option 1	60 hours	0 hours	$400
Option 2	60 hours	12 hours	$200
Option 3	60 hours	24 hours	NIL

Choose any of the options, but 60 hours of CPE credit is stagnant

CPE Requirement for Non-practicing and Retired Professionals

For CVA (Non-Practicing), CVA (Emeritus), and retired CVA, only 36 hours of CPE are required. But if you have taken the recommended Current Update in Valuations (CUV) course, a minimum of 12 hours of Valuation World webcasts, you will not require additional CPE beyond this. Also, $400 of the recertification fee will be waived.

For a better understanding of your CVA requirements, you must be familiar with a few terminologies of NACVA.

What is the Tri-Annual Recertification Fee You must Know?

An NACVA credential holder like CVA must complete 60 hours of applicable Continuing Professional Education credit every three years for recertification, along with a $400 recertification fee. However, the fee of $400 can be waived by attending Recommended CPE Bonus Point Programs.

What are Recommended CPE Bonus Point Programs ?

This is a recommended program by NACVA for CVAs, focusing on core business valuation and financial litigation theory, methodologies, and practice. The two programs contain 12 bonus points each (24 points maximum). Adding the credit points with 60 CPE credits, each program waives $200, and attending the two programs will waive all $400 recertification fees.

What are the Recertification Reporting Options?

Option 1: Take 2 Recommended CPE Bonus Point Programs of 24 points and 60 points of Non-NACVA CPE hours and complete submission without any recertification fee of $400.

Option 2: Take 1 Recommended CPE Bonus Point Program of 12 points worth $200. Complete 60 points of Non-NACVA CPE hours and submit with a $200 recertification fee.

Option 3: Complete 60 points of Non-NACVA CPE hours and submit with a $400 recertification fee.
