How might a Certificant fail an audit?
• Failure to include proof of CDE participation. • Submitting hours earned outside of the renewal period being audited. • Earning too many hours in a category that has a maximum. • Not submitting enough hours. • Not paying the renewal fee in addition to completing the audit. • Submitting proof of attending courses not compliant with the current Recertification Guidelines. If a Certificant fails the audit, materials will be returned with a letter indicating what steps are to be taken in order to pass the audit. Certificants may use their three-month grace period (past the expiration date) to earn hours, provide proof, etc. in order to comply (and pass) the audit.
