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.
