How much CPE do you need?

CPAs with an active certificate or license must have 80 hours (annual minimum ? 20 hours) of continuing professional education (CPE) credit every two years in a reporting cycle.

Inactive or retired certificate holders have no CPE requirements. (Note: If you wish to go inactive, you must file an affidavit with the Tennessee State Board of Accountancy electing the inactive status before you may eliminate the CPE requirement.)

What kind of CPE do you need?

Active certificate holders need technical CPE in accounting, accounting ethics, auditing, taxation, computer science and management or financial advisory services (or consulting services) totaling 40 hours every two years.

Periodical reading and testing cannot exceed 20 percent of the total required CPE. The reading of any journal or periodical for continuing professional education credit is subject to the 20 percent limitation as ?Other CPE.?

Self-study courses are allowed if the sponsor has complied with the CPE NASBA Quality Assurance Service Program. QAS-compliant sponsors are listed on the NASBA Web site at www.nasba.org/nasbaweb.nsf/cpe. Self-study can equate to 100 percent.
