The Accounting Continuing Professional Education Network (ACPEN) CPE network, sponsored by the ISCPA and several other State Societies, is dedicated to bringing, highly relevant, interactive, world-class CPE to every CPA in the most convenient and economical ways possible.

In 2008, ACPEN programs will be available in two great formats for maximum flexibility by accounting professionals who want to meet their CPE needs and requirements in the most convenient way!

The primary date will be available as both live satellite and webcast events. They run from 8:00am to 4:00pm MST. There is a lunch break at 11:30am. Each of the above ACPEN broadcasts provide 8 CPE credits.

A Replay is a webcast, with faculty members standing by, in real time, to answer questions from webcast viewers. (NASBA Statement on Standards for CPE Programs, Section 400.07)

Here's the Scoop on Webcasts!

8-hour Courses: All ACPEN 8-hour Satellite courses are also available via webcasts for a tuition of $215.00 by the earl bird deadline - $265 thereafter.

2 & 3 hour Courses: All ACPEN 2 & 3-hour courses are available ONLY via webcasts for a tuition of $59 and $70 respectfully.

Technology Requirements: Those who have an internet connection of 56k or higher, broadband or T-1 connection may access the program, the greater the speed of the connection the better the video picture quality. The registration process of the ASP guides the student through the testing process to ensure compatibility.

Written Materials: Students are able to receive the written materials by downloading them from LegalSpan’s website, in advance of the program. They are also available to be sent to the student in book form, if they prefer.

CPE Credit Status: You, the viewer, as part of a live, interactive group study, receives credit for participation at 50 minutes per CPE credit hour. No testing during the program is provided since it is a live, group study. (see Attendance Verification, below). The Business Professionals Network (BPN) is registered as a sponsor with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy for its live webcasts.

Interactivity: Participating students may ask questions during the program in three ways. They may telephone or fax questions to the numbers provided on the screen, or they may email questions to the address provided on screen. These questions will be responded to by the live faculty, during the course.

Attendance Verification: During the broadcast, at random times during each quarter of the broadcast, part of a simple code will be broadcast that the viewer must recognize and note. At the end of the program, the webcast viewer is instructed to enter this four-part code by the ASP. Only those viewers who submit all four parts of the code receive full CPE credit. Viewers who submit partial codes receive a certificate granting appropriate partial credit in two-hour increments, for each part of the code submitted.

CPE Credit Certificate: Business Professionals' Network, Inc., the webcast sponsor, provides a certificate documenting either full credit or some lesser amount, based on the Attendance Verification Code provided by the student at the end of the program. This will be sent as an email. Business Professionals' Network, Inc. is an accredited member of the NASBA National Registry of CPE Sponsors.

Technology Help Line: An email sent confirming registration is sent to each student in advance with technical requirements and providing a help line contact to assist with difficulties that may occur during the set for the program or, if difficulties are encountered during the program itself.

Course Evaluation: Each student receives an evaluation of the program that they can complete and submit, on line, following the program.

Post Course Study: Each student who attends the program may access the event a second time, archived on the internet, during the thirty days following the program at no additional charge. No CPE credit will be awarded for this event, since it is not live.
