The Continuing Education Audit Process

This may be your first time being audited or it may be the third time in 10 years. Co-workers you have spoken with have never been audited but you're audited every time you renew. Why?

The CSWMFT Board conducts its random audit of 10% of all licenses that have recently renewed. An audit is conducted four times a year, a percentage of each license discipline makes up the 10% pulled. You may be audited every time you renew or you may never be audited; which is the definition of random.

Audit forms shall be completed, signed and mailed by the date given on your audit letter. DO NOT FAX OR EMAIL YOUR AUDIT FORM.

This link CEU Audit Form will take you to an active PDF Audit form. On this form you are able to type in your information, print the pages for your signature and mail it along with your 'attendance certificates' to the Board's office.

If you are audited, you will be required to submit proof of attendance for the continuing education programs reported for your last renewal. A copy of your current disclosure statement must also be submitted.

The Continuing Education Audit Directions

1. You are being audited for your last renewal. You will have to show proof of the 30 CEUs taken within your last 2 year renewal period. These CEUs will need to be listed and copies of attendance certificates attached to your renewal form.

2. From the time you receive your audit letter you have approximately 30 days to complete and return your audit form.

3. If you are practicing within the State of Ohio you are required by law to include a copy of your current disclosure statement. Please review your disclosure statement to be sure it meets the Board's requirements (4757.12 & 4757-5-12). Disclosure Statements are to be displayed and provided to clients prior to the performance of service.

Below are samples of disclosure statements use them as a guide to create or update yours.
