CPE hours are reported annually during the renewal process which begins in October/November of each year.

Please keep track of the activities you take and retain the supporting documentation so that you are able to properly report your hours. You will be sent an email notification when the renewal process opens each year. At that time, you can go to our web site and pay your annual dues and report your CPE hours at www.isaca.org/renew. Alternatively, you can wait until we send you the hard copy annual invoice and use that as the mechanism to make your payment and report your CPE hours.
