Course Description
This course was updated on 7/25/2019.
This course is designed to meet the two-hour regulatory review course-requirement for California CPAs. Licensees must complete this course every six years. In addition, licensees must also complete a four-hour course in professional ethics during each two-year license renewal period (see our course Ethics for Accountants: California).
California Regulatory Review for CPAs covers the applicable statutes and regulations promulgated in the California Accountancy Act and the California Board of Accountancy Regulations. A summary of recent and historic board enforcement actions and an overview of new rules are included. Disciplinary actions by the board are used to reinforce understanding of the statues and regulations. Frequently asked questions are also included to further illustrate important points.
Please consult the California State Board of Accountancy for specific requirements. Reminder from the California Board of Accountancy: "A licensee renewing a license in an active status, shall complete a minimum of 20 hours in each year of the two-year license renewal period, with a minimum of 12 hours of the required 20 hours in technical subject areas as described in subsection (a)(2)."
