How often does NCCPA audit PAs?
A. NCCPA audits PAs for a two-year certification maintenance cycle. PAs chosen to be audited will be notified during the year after the PAs previous cycle has ended. A PA could be selected for the audit for up to an entire year after their previous cycle has ended. It is very important for PAs to keep their Category I documentation for at least one full year after their cycle has ended. For example: PAs who were audited for the 2005-2007 cycle were notified in 2008.
