How do I tell how much CPE I've taken?

LCPA makes it easy for you to track and report your CPE credits. We automatically track all LCPA-sponsored courses, and you can manually add any outside courses you take, so everything is all in one place. Note: Self-entered entries are not verified/approved by the Society of Louisiana CPAs; always maintain your proper documentation/proof of attendance for non-LCPA-sponsored courses.

  • Login to your MY LCPA profile.
  • Select My CPE Tracker
  • Select the current Reporting Period from the dropdown.
  • You should see a list of your completed events. If you have self-entered non-LCPA courses and want to display them, check the box to Include self-entered events.
    Do not self-enter courses taken with LCPA. It may take up to ten business days for credits to be posted to your account. Contact LCPA for discrepancies or verification of courses not appearing on your transcript.
  • To enter non-LCPA courses, select the Add Event button and complete the form for each course. Pro tip: The maximum size acceptable for uploading a self-entered CPE certificate of completion or documentation of attendance verification is 1 MB. Files exceeding this size will receive an error message and must be compressed to 1 MB or smaller.
  • Select Download Transcript or individual completion certificates for reporting purposes.

How do I get more involved with the LCPA as a new member?

  • Join a committee or our private, online community, LCPA Connect. Find groups in your specialty or practice area. Then, let the collaboration begin!
  • Participate in chapter and networking events.
  • Sign up to talk to students at your alma mater about becoming a CPA.

When do I have to renew my membership dues?
Annual dues are payable June 30. After June 30, all member benefits, including CPE discounts, will be unavailable until dues are paid and a $30 late fee will apply. Dues paid after Aug. 31 are subject to a $50 late fee. Membership will be terminated if not paid in full by Nov 1.

Can I view and print my membership invoice?

How can I pay my dues online?

The dues category on my invoice is incorrect. How do I update my membership type?
If your position has changed with your company and need to change your membership type, simply contact our Member Support Team at 504.464.1040 or complete a Membership Type Change Request Form. 

How much of my dues can I use as a tax write-off?
Membership dues are not tax deductible as a charitable contributions, but may be deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses or under other provisions of the IRS Code, subject to restrictions imposed as a result of association lobbying activities. LCPA estimates the non-deductible portion of your 2024-2025 dues allocable to lobbying is 10%.

Can I still remain a member of the LCPA if I am "CPA Retired" or "CPA Inactive"?
Yes, you can remain a member of the LCPA if you hold a "CPA Retired" or "CPA Inactive" status with the State Board of Louisiana CPAs.
