What is an Audit on my Esthetic License?

An audit for an esthetician license in Illinois is a verification process where the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) examines an esthetician's records to ensure they have met all license renewal requirements, including continuing education (CEUs). Audits are conducted at random and can occur within 24 months of license renewal. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Why Audits?

• The IDFPR has the right to audit licensed estheticians to ensure compliance with state regulations. 

• Audits help verify that estheticians have completed the required CEUs and met other license renewal requirements. 

What to Expect During an Audit?

• The IDFPR may request documentation of completed CEUs, including course titles, dates, providers, and hours.

• Estheticians should keep records of their CEU completion for at least three years. 

  
  

Consequences of Failing to Meet Audit Requirements:

• Failure to comply with audit requirements may result in disciplinary action against the esthetician's license, such as suspension or revocation, according to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.

• It's crucial to maintain accurate records and comply with CEU requirements to avoid potential disciplinary action.
