Reinstatement
If you do not pay your renewal fees or meet
your CPE requirements, you will be suspended. You have five years
from the date of suspension to request reinstatement.
Accredited status may be reinstated in one of three ways:
- In the case of the ABA, you may sit and satisfactorily complete
the examination at any time following the expiration of the accredited
status.
- You may submit the Reinstatement Form along with a fee of $150 (per credential) + up to 3 years of outstanding renewal fees per each ACAT credential. Plus you will need to show evidence to ACAT of the completion of acceptable continuing education in the 12 months immediately prior to the date of filing for reinstatement.
The CPE required for reinstatement in accountancy (ABA) is 40 hours over the last 12 months, 8 of which must be in accounting and related subjects and 8 must be in taxation.
The CPE required for reinstatement of the Accredited Tax Advisor (ATA) is 30 hours over the last 12 months in taxation and related subjects and in ethics.
The CPE required for reinstatement of the Accredited Tax Preparer (ATP) is 24 hours over the last 12 months in taxation and related subjects and in ethics.
Hours used for the purposes of reinstatement may be applied towards renewal if earned within the current reporting cycle.
- You may be reinstated by ACAT Board action on an individual basis
only for extreme or special circumstances.
