Did You Miss the NICE Compliance Reporting Deadline?
If you hold an AIE®, CIE®, or CICSR® designation and you missed the October 1st reporting deadline of continuing education (CE) credits for the 2022-2023 compliance period, the registration of your designation will have been made inactive. Without an active registration of your designation, IRES will not recognize your professional designation nor endorse it to others, including, but not limited to your employer, the NAIC, organizations, associations or other individuals. Notification of designation suspension will be sent to the email address on file with IRES.
Complete NICE program details and reporting deadlines are contained in the NICE Program Manual. If you have questions or for information on how to reactive your designation, please contact the IRES office.
