The OUC continues its highly acclaimed CPE for CPAs with two days of courses during the month of November 2012. The letters translate to “Continuing Professional Education for Certified Public Accountants,” but you should note two important facts about our program:
  1. You may be able to use our CPE to support audit or other certifications, in addition to using it to maintain a CPA license; and,
  2. You can participate whether you are a CPA or not. This no-cost professional development is open to all CU employees!
The CU Shared Practices (CUSP) Program recognizes and rewards innovative work by your colleagues across the University.

The auditors could not determine, based on JE descriptions/supporting documentation, why the transfer was necessary and if it benefited the sponsored project receiving the expense.
