COA Evidence Guide

PCSAO has developed the COA Evidence Guide to assist Ohio PCSA’s as they go through the COA self study process. The Evidence Guide cross-references each COA Standard with the appropriate sections of the Ohio Revised Code, the Ohio Administrative Code, and the PCSAO Standards for Effective Practice.

Directions for Using the Online Evidence Guide

First, users should have their own copy of the  7th Edition\Version 1.0 of the COA standards (either on disk or hard copy). This will allow them to view the individual standards sections in their entirety. To access information related to each COA standard, simply click on a link to the corresponding section of the Ohio Revised Code, Ohio Administrative Code, or PCSAO Standards listed in the table to the right of the COA standards section. Clicking the link will allow users to view the appropriate information. Use the "forward" or "back" arrows in your browser as necessary to return to the table. Please note that users must have Adobe TM software to view the PCSAO Standards. If you have difficulty using this guide, please contact PCSAO  (614)224-5802.
