After closely monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the insular areas and carefully considering the health and well-being of all those involved, as well as the challenges each of the island governments are facing, the Association of Pacific Islands Public Auditors (APIPA) has decided that the 33rd Annual Conference will be offered virtually.

We recognize how difficult it is to travel due to restrictions and COVID-19 challenges each insular government is facing. APIPA has excellent conference sessions and instructors ready to assist with professional development for insular area officials. The APIPA 2022 virtual conference will provide participants with access to timely, relevant course content in an online format. Join us for professional development that will enable you to better serve insular government organizations and communities

To attend APIPA 2022 sessions you must first register for the conference.  Registration is free of charge and can be completed at http://apipa2022.org.

All APIPA 2022 class sessions will be presented online using Zoom.  You will need a computer (desktop or laptop) with a good internet connection so you can see and hear the presentations.  You may connect to classes from anywhere and the experience is like participating in a Zoom meeting. 

You do not need to have a Zoom account.  You will be emailed a link for each class ahead of time.  Click on the link in the email message about 10 minutes before the class starting time, and you will be connected automatically to the live class presentation.  You need to register, sign in, and attend the session live to earn Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credit for each session.  See Question 7 below for more details on earning certificates for each session.
