CPO Recertification Application Audit Policy

• Applications for Recertification may be submitted up to 6 months prior to a candidate’s recertification deadline.
• A percentage of all applications for Recertification are audited on an ongoing and rolling basis.
• The percentage is set by the BCPO Board and considers the average number of applicants, the frequency of failed audits, and available resources.
• Audits are conducted by the BCPO Audit Committee comprised of non-biased CPOs.
• Auditees are given a timeline and opportunities to submit additional supporting documentation to pass the audit.
• Auditees who fail an audit will have their CPO credential revoked at the close of their current recertification window.
• Auditees who fail an audit may appeal the decision according to the BCPO Audit Appeals Policy.
