Four-hour Board-approved ethics course each renewal. New licensees must additionally complete a four-hour Board-approved course on the provisions of the Wyoming CPA Act and Wyoming Rules and Regulations within six months of the initial permit. Non-resident licensees relying on another state must have a 4-hour ethics requirement there that also covers state-specific statutes and rules.
Four hours from a Board-approved ethics course. The timing differs between your first permit renewal and later ones, so check which applies to you.
A four-hour Board-approved course specifically on the provisions of the Wyoming CPA Act and the Wyoming Rules and Regulations, completed within six months of the date of your initial permit. Your due date appears on your Board dashboard. There is no requirement to report other CPE at that first renewal.
No. The course must be approved by the Wyoming Board of Certified Public Accountants. Providers must submit courses for Board review, and a general ethics course from a NASBA sponsor does not automatically qualify.
Licences expire on 31 December each year and renewal is annual. CPE runs on a rolling three-year period from 1 January to 31 December, requiring 120 hours. Renewal opens through the OPAL portal on 1 October.
Providers submit the course to the Wyoming Board of Certified Public Accountants for review. The Board charges $200 for the review, plus $50 for each additional hour beyond four.
You may meet Wyoming's requirement by satisfying the CPE rules of the state where your principal office is located, but only if that state has a four-hour ethics requirement and its ethics course covers state-specific statutes and rules. If it has no CPE requirement, or lacks that ethics requirement, you must comply with Wyoming's rules in full.
