I use an excel sheet. My company pays for a CPE subscription, but I also get a lot of free CPE by attending B4 webcasts.

Thank you

CPA Academy has tons of free CPE. And so do a lot of the B4s, you just have to go out and find it while you are in industry. I'm in a State that has an online portal to upload your CPE. Then when you are audited it goes really quickly because your certificates are already in there. Does your state not have this?

Yes my state does too. I love it. It calculates if we are current, and it made getting audited for my CPE super easy!

Agree with Assistant Controller 1. I use Excel to track CPE. I mostly sign up for the free webcasts put on by the big 4 since there are a lot of them every month and also try to attend half-day seminars put on by the firms a couple of times a year (sometimes free).

sigh* last week Saturday my s/o & I broke up after our 3 year relationship. & it really been affecting me negatively — not eating, autopilot mode, self isolation & diving deep into work. Today I decided to go outside, where I picked up some food to go and went to an outdoor movie by myself; where I had the realization I just really enjoy being by myself. Idk, maybe I’m just better off single after so many failed relationships/am I being dramatic? but anyone else has given up on love?
