With a new year comes a brand new Ethics requirement to fulfill. Our Ethics team of instructors has done an overhaul on our two-hour program and is ready to take the show on the road across the state. This new-and-improved program is also available for onsite programming. So if your CPE engine needs some high-quality Ethics fuel to keep traveling, visit www.ncacpa.org to get your fill.

State Board Requirements: The 2-hour (or 4-hour self-study) ethics course is required for annual license renewal for North Carolina CPAs and does not qualify one to obtain an original or reciprocal certificate. (The Accountancy Law course required for certification is an 8-hour program.) If you have questions, please contact the North Carolina State Board of CPA Examiners.

The Accountancy Law course required for certification is also available in self-study format and can be obtained by clicking here.

Two-Hour Courses: 2008 Professional Ethics and Conduct
Completely revised for 2008, this course exposes increasingly creative fraud schemes and current ethical and professional issues facing accountants today. Discussions include basic ethical principles and theories and recent state board actions. Ethical decision making and the CPA’s individual professional responsibility will be highlighted in discussions of independence, competence, objectivity, and integrity. Note: This course fulfills the State Board’s annual two-hour ethics CPE requirement.

Eight-Hour Courses: NC Accountancy Law—Ethics, Principles, and Professional Responsibilities
This course meets the State Board requirement stating all candidates for certification must complete an eight-hour CPA course on the North Carolina Statutes and Rules, as well as the State Board’s two-hour ethics requirement for 2008. This eight-hour program also satisfies the 80-hour requirement for Yellow Book, but it is up to the individual to determine if this course meets the 24-hour yellow book requirement.
