Earn CPE Credits Through Practical Accounting and Finance Training

What Are CPE Credits?

CPE credits are continuing professional education units required by state boards and the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) to maintain active CPA licensure and accounting credentials. CPE is a mandatory professional development requirement that ensures CPAs and finance professionals stay current with evolving accounting standards, tax regulations, and audit requirements.

CPAs must maintain their licenses through ongoing professional education. The specific CPE requirements vary by state and credential type, but most CPAs need 40 continuing professional education credits per year (or 80 credits over a two-year reporting period) to maintain their CPA license in good standing.
