"33‑3‑109. Certified public accountant; qualifications.
(e) Applications for renewal of an active certificate shall be accompanied by evidence of satisfaction of the continuing education requirements during the three (3) years preceding the application. Failure by an individual applicant to furnish this evidence shall constitute grounds for nonrenewal under W.S. 33‑3‑121, unless the board determines the failure is due to reasonable cause or excusable neglect. The board may renew a certificate despite the failure to furnish evidence of satisfaction of the requirements of continuing education upon the condition that the applicant follow a particular future program or schedule of continuing education. In issuing rules, regulations and individual orders regarding requirements of continuing education, the board may use and rely upon guidelines and pronouncements of recognized educational and professional associations, may prescribe the content, duration and organization of courses, shall take into account the applicant's access to continuing education courses and any impediments to the interstate practice of certified public accounting which may result from differences in these requirements in other states and may provide for relaxation or suspension of the requirements for applicants who certify that they do not intend to engage in the practice of certified public accountancy or for instances of individual hardship.".
