New CPA ethics requirement
The California Board of Accountancy has finalized its regulations requiring that all CPAs renewing after January 1, 2010, must have 4 hours of ethics each renewal cycle. PLUS, every 6 years all CPAs need 2 hours of what is called "regulatory ethics." The new 2-hour requirement must be satisfied in the same 6-year cycle as the prior 8-hour ethics requirement.
Spidell has a 4-hour course available online or in print now. Spidell and other providers may now submit a 2-hour course for approval by the Board of Accountancy. Until a 2-hour course is approved, take the 8-hour course if you need the 2-hour regulatory course. Click here for more information on the ethics requirement and Spidell's CPA ethics courses.
