• Lunch
  Course fees do not include lunch unless indicated.
• Course Times
  All course times are local time.
• Course Availability
  Check course availability by calling member services; however, we cannot hold space in a course without full payment. On-site registration the day of the course is accepted only if space and materials are available. Payment of the nonmember fee is required for all on-site registrations.
• Discounts
  • AICPA members may deduct an additional $30 off courses when AICPA is listed as the source. All staff-training and four-hour courses are excluded.
  • Value Plus allows you to purchase a minimum of 40 hours of CPE in any combination of INCPAS seminars or conferences for 25 percent off the total price. All courses must be purchased as one transaction. Standard switch fees will apply.

    The INCPAS Value Plus Program allows you to register for a minimum of 40 hours of CPE in any combination of seminars or conferences (excluding CCFL, PIUs and Knowledge Networks). All courses must be purchased at the time of enrollment; participants must enroll prior to Aug. 29, 2008.

    Participation in the Value Plus Program is on an individual basis and is not transferrable to other members within a company or firm. All other discount programs do not apply to the Value Plus Program. The Value Plus Program may not be used retroactively for courses taken prior to purchase and cannot be applied toward self-study purchases. All 40 hours must be used prior to Jan. 31, 2009. Refunds will not be issued for those hours not used by Jan. 31. As is the case with all CPE registrations, the INCPAS cancellation, switch and inclement weather policies apply to Value Plus Program registrations as well.

    Value Plus excludes Knowledge Networks, Professional Issues Updates and CCFL.

• Confirmations
  All registration confirmations will be e-mailed once payment has been processed. This will serve as your receipt. If you do not receive a confirmation three days prior to the course, contact member services.
• If INCPAS Cancels a Course
  A course will be cancelled if the minimum number of participants is not obtained approximately 10 days prior to the course. You may elect to receive a full refund or choose another course without penalty. INCPAS is not responsible for any personal expenses incurred if a course is cancelled.
• If You Cancel or Switch a Course
  All cancellations and switches are subject to an administrative service fee. Cancellations must be received in writing or by telephone. You may substitute another individual in your place without penalty providing the registration fee paid applies to both registrants (i.e. both registrants qualify for the member fee). Please notify member services of the change to assure proper assignment of CPE credit.
• Cancellation and Switch Fees
  • $15 service fee for cancellations or switches received 15 business days or more prior to the course date.
  • $25 service fee for cancellations or switches received 6-14 business days prior to the course date.
  • 50 percent of the registration fee will be refunded for cancellations or switches received 5 business days or less prior to the event.
  • Nonrefundable registration fee for any INCPAS-sponsored conference cancellations or switches received five business days or less prior to the conference.
  • Nonrefundable registration fee for cancellations or switches received on or after the course date.
• Inclement Weather Policy
  Registrants will be notified at their office immediately upon cancellation of an event due to inclement weather. If we are unable to reach registrants or the decision to cancel has been made during non-business hours, registrants will be contacted at home. The Society uses our database to contact registrants; therefore, it is imperative you notify the Society when your information has changed.

  When an event has been cancelled due to inclement weather, registrants will have the option of attending the rescheduled event or registering for another event at the time of cancellation. If the registrant is unable to attend the rescheduled event and is unable to register for another event, a full refund will be issued.

  If a registrant is unable to attend an event due to inclement weather they must notify the Society the day of the scheduled event. Cancellations will not be accepted before or after the event. If the event has not been cancelled, no refunds will be issued. Instead, registrants will be issued a credit voucher valid for one year from the date of issue. It is applicable to another event of equal value.

• Cell Phones and Pagers
  All cell phones and pagers must be silenced during all INCPAS events.
• Business Meal Deductions
  Under IRS Code Section 162 (effective 1/1/94), 50 percent of the costs of business meals held in conjunction with association meetings are generally deductible.

Attendance at each approved course will be documented by INCPAS and forwarded to ICCLE for their records. It is the sole discretion of the ICCLE to determine what courses will be approved for CLE credit and how much credit can be earned for each approved course.

• What should I wear to class?
  There is no standard dress code. Most participants attend wearing casual or business-casual attire.
• What if someone needs to contact me while I'm in class?
  They may leave messages that will be posted outside the classroom or given to the instructor. We CANNOT interrupt class to relay a message to a participant unless it is regarding a serious emergency.
• How do I know if a CPE course meets the Indiana state requirements?
  For a course to qualify and be included in the CPA minimum hour requirement, it must be formally organized, primarily instructional, and contribute directly to professional competence in the practice of public accountancy. Any self-study courses advertised by the INCPAS are also eligible for credit in Indiana. If you're unsure about any other courses qualifying for CPE, you should contact the Indiana State Board of Accountancy at (317) 234-3040 for more information.
• How much self-study CPE can I claim?
  You may claim up to 50 percent of your total CPE credits hours through self-study. To learn more about the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency's rules governing CPE, call (317) 234-3040.
