CPE Requirement Changes

Changes to CPE Requirements Effective for Jan. 1, 2010
License Renewals

The California Board of Accountancy is amending the section of the California Code of Regulations that governs continuing education and license renewal for CPAs to place ethics education at the forefront of the profession; ensure licensees maintain a high level of competency and remain abreast of the continually changing tax laws and professional standards throughout the entirety of the licensure period; and ensure licensees continue to receive exposure to the laws and regulations governing the practice of public accountancy in California.
