Introduction


The Kansas Board of Accountancy (KSBOA) Online Renewal application was created to give CPA permit holders the opportunity to renew their permit online. The accepted method of payment is credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express). This online service is provided by Kansas.gov, a third-party working in partnership with the state of Kansas. The online price of items purchased through Kansas.gov, the state's official Web portal, includes funds used to develop, maintain, enhance, and expand the service offerings of the state's portal.

Once you start the renewal process, you will not be able to save it and go back to it.  Further, if you see a screen that tells you that you may not proceed, you will not be able to go back to change the answer that keeps you from proceeding.

To renew online, you will need your certificate number and the PIN generated for you by the KSBOA. These numbers are printed in blue and appear on the paper renewal application form.  Please have this information available before proceeding.

Online permit renewals may be submitted until 11:59 PM on JULY 31. After that time, all renewals must be submitted in paper form and will be subject to the late fee, and possible disciplinary action for practicing without a permit.

Do not wait until the last minute to complete your permit renewal. If you experience problems online and are unable to register in that manner, it may result in your renewal being filed late with the board which will result in late fees and/or disciplinary action.

Important Instructions

ALL CE HOURS MUST BE OBTAINED AND CERTIFICATES OF COMPLETION/ATTENDANCE ISSUED BY THE COURSE SPONSOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH K.A.R. 74-4-8(a)(5) MUST BE IN HAND BEFORE YOU MAY RENEW. IF YOU OBTAIN ANY CE HOURS AFTER JUNE 30, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RENEW ONLINE. YOU MUST SUBMIT A PAPER APPLICATION.

You are no longer required to provide a listing of your CE with your renewal application. You may, however, be chosen as an audit candidate. If you are chosen, you will, at the completion of the renewal, be notified that you have been designated as an audit candidate, whereupon you will have 30 days (pursuant to K.A.R 74-4-9(d)) to submit proof of all of your continuing education hours.

If you are chosen for audit, you must submit the certificates of completion/attendance issued by the course sponsor, in accordance with K.A.R. 74-4-8(a)(5) of the CE hours claimed, and you will be required to submit a CE report form that includes the name of the program sponsor, title and course field of study, date and location of the program, delivery method of the course, name of the participant, signature of a representative of the program sponsor, and number of CE contact hours. A CE report form is available in PDF and Excel format below and located on the Board's webpage at https://ksboa.kansas.gov/.

Failure to provide the required certificates of attendance/completion of CE issued by the course sponsor in accordance with K.A.R. 74-4-8(a)(5) may result in disciplinary action. You will receive your permit card from the KSBOA as soon as possible.

You are required to retain documentation of completion or attendance for any continuing education program or course for six years from the end of the year in which the program or course was completed.
