CPA CPE Requirements by State
All-in-One LMS for Simplified, Affordable CPA CPE Across All 50 States
What are the CPA CPE Requirements for each U.S. State?
To maintain an active CPA license, professionals must complete a set number of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) hours as outlined by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA). These requirements vary by state and are designed to ensure CPAs remain current, competent, and compliant.
CPE credits must be earned through NASBA-approved providers and Illumeo is proudly one of them.
As each state board also sets its own specific CPE requirements for CPAs, including:
- Total CPE hours for CPA license renewal required annually or biennially
- Mandatory ethics or technical subject courses.
- Reporting deadlines and documentation rules
