No. The AICPA Professional Ethics Exam taken for certificate issuance cannot be used toward the four hours of ethics required for permit renewal.
Permits renew biennially on 30 June, with your renewal year determined by whether your birth year is odd or even. CPE must be earned by 31 December of the year before renewal and reported by 31 January of your renewal year.
Failure to submit the CPE Report of Attendance by 31 January will prevent you from renewing your permit. If you have a valid reason you cannot report in time, notify the Board in writing before the deadline.
Courses pre-approved through the NASBA CPE Registry are accepted. Any course not pre-approved by the Registry must gain approval from the Board before it can be counted.
Certificates of completion from course sponsors, signed attendance sheets, grade reports or transcripts from educational institutions, and signed statements of hours from instructors. Keep the evidence for six years after completing the course.
