Alabama ( AL ) CPA Continuing Education (CPE) Requirements

The Alabama State Board of Public Accountancy does not endorse or pre-approve CPE courses or require registration by individual providers of CPE. Listed below are some of the Alabama CPA CPE requirements that apply to online continuing education. BestCPE designs its courses to meet the credit hour requirement by the Alabama State Board of Public Accountancy. Please use the official rules from the Alabama State Board of Public Accountancy as the official documentation for any questions related to Alabama CPA CPE.

Alabama CPA CPE Hours Required

Each person to whom the continuing professional education requirement applies must complete forty hours of acceptable continuing professional education each fiscal year ending September 30. At least eight of the forty hours reported must be obtained in the subject of accounting and auditing. The Board will accept a maximum of eight hours of the forty in behavioral courses.

A person who passes the Certified Public Accountant examination, remaining in public practice, must complete at least forty acceptable professional continuing education hours within the period ending one year after the September 30 following the date of passage of the examination.

In all cases, the responsibility for establishing that a particular course or other program for which credit is claimed is acceptable and meets these CPE rules rests solely on the licensee.

Formal correspondence or other individual study programs (including internet-based non-interactive programs)

Permit holders claiming credit for such courses will be required to obtain evidence of satisfactory completion of the course from the sponsor. Credit will be allowed in the renewal period in which the course is completed. The Board will not approve any program of learning that does not offer sufficient evidence that the work has actually been accomplished. The amount of credit to be allowed in each case shall be determined by the Board. No more than one-half of the total required hours will be allowed for individual self-study programs.
