Per NASBA guidelines, in order to receive full credit, attendees must answer three (3) polling questions per CPE hour (50 minutes).

A Certificate of Attendance will only be issued to participants who successfully signed in and out of a course, or who signed into Zoom with their first and last name and answered the required amount of polling questions. If a registrant fails to sign in or out, or answer the required amount of polling questions, the NMSCPA Foundation is unable to confirm attendance. If the NMSCPA Foundation is unable to confirm attendance, a Certificate of Attendance will not be issued. Certificates of Attendance will be sent out via email within five (5) business days following the course. Please note: it is the responsibility of the registrant to ensure that the NMSCPA Foundation has the most recent contact information on file.
