In order to maintain the validity of the accounting certificate, according to the regulations, whether you are engaged in accounting work or not, you need to attend continuing education on time every year from the year when you obtain the accounting certificate. This paper will introduce the validity of accounting certificate and related issues of continuing education to you.

Location of continuing education

The place of continuing education must be the place where your accounting certificate is registered (issuing authority). Only the continuing education in the place of registration can be recognized.

Annual inspection time

Generally speaking, you need to have an annual inspection every two years, but only if you attend continuing education on time. Without continuing education, the accounting certificate will not pass the annual inspection.

Contact the issuer

In order to ensure that your accounting certificate remains valid, please contact the issuing authority in time and attend continuing education on time. If in doubt, you can consult the issuing authority (Accounting Department of Finance Bureau).

Transfer of accounting certificate

If you plan to work in a foreign country (non-registered place) for a long time, you can go through the formalities of changing the accounting certificate to a household. Specific transfer procedures and requirements can be consulted with the issuing authority.
