Important Notice Regarding CPE Credit

CPE self-study product descriptions make references to CPE Credit. These credits are based on a 50-minute hour. To better understand how to report your CPE credit, please read the information below carefully.

CPE Requirements for CPAs

CPE standards for Certified Public Accountants (CPA) are established jointly by the AICPA and NASBA (the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy). Before reporting credit, CPAs are advised to contact their state boards or other entities to which they report to determine their specific requirements.

CPE Credit is calculated in accordance with current CPE standards. CPE credit is recommended based on the results of the NASBA word-count formula or pilot testing by CPAs. The runtime of a course (in minutes) or average minutes spent by pilot testers on a course are divided by 50 to arrive at the CPE credit. If your state board requires that credit for self-study courses be calculated based on a 50-minute hour, you would receive 10 credits for a course that averaged a completion time of 500 minutes.

A Note on CPE Course Content and “Interactivity”

In accordance with current CPE standards, all PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditing Ltd. self-study courses elicit participant responses to test for understanding of the material, offer evaluative feedback to incorrect responses, and provide reinforcement feedback to correct responses. In this sense, they are considered “interactive.” In addition, all PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditing Ltd. self-study courses meet the standards of interactivity as defined by many state boards.

CPE requirements vary from state to state. We advise CPAs to contact your state board for information concerning your state's specific requirements.
