SECTION 367.3. Continuing Education Audit

(a) The Board shall select for audit a random sample of licensees. The audit will cover a period for which the licensee has already completed the continuing education requirement.

(b) Licensees randomly selected for the audit must provide to TBOTE appropriate documentation within 30 days of notification.

(c) The licensee is solely responsible for keeping accurate documentation of all continuing education requirements. Continuing education documentation must be maintained for two years from the date of the last renewal for auditing purposes.

(d) Continuing education documentation includes, but is not limited to: transcripts, AOTA self-study completion certificates, copies of official sign-in or attendance sheets, course certificates of attendance, certificates of completion, and letters of verification.

(e) Documentation must identify the licensee by name, and must include the date and title of the course; the name of the authorized signer and either the signature of the authorized signer or the official seal, letterhead, or logo of the authorized signer if an area designated for a signature is not included; and the number of hours or contact hours awarded for the course. When continuing education units (CEUs), professional development units (PDUs), or other units or credits are listed on the documentation, such must be accompanied by documentation from the continuing education provider noting the equivalence of the units or credits in terms of hours or contact hours.

(f) Knowingly providing false information or failure to respond during the audit process or the renewal process is grounds for disciplinary action.
