Course Description
This course was updated on 12/8/2025 and it is approved by the New York State Board of Accountancy through 8/31/2027 (sponsor # 002146).
This is a “foundation” ethics course and it meets the New York State Board of Accountancy’s ethics continuing education requirement for public accountants and certified public accountants licensed in the state. The course covers current ethical issues in the accounting profession and an introduction to the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct. The New York section covers the State Education Law, the Rules of the Board of Regents, and the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education.
All of our non-ethics CPA-credit courses are also accepted by the NY Board under our NASBA sponsorship #107615.
NOTE: If you are a tax practitioner and you earn all of your CPE hours in tax, see our Ethics for Accountants: New York (Tax Concentration) course.
NOTE: You can take this course even if you take all of your CPE in a single area of concentration (i.e. 24 CPE in accounting, tax, or auditing). The course will count towards the 24 hour CPE total (i.e. 4 CPE in ethics plus 20 CPE in your area of concentration). We also have a N.Y. ethics course for those who are focusing their CPE in the tax subject area (see Ethics for Accountants: New York Tax Concentration). See the New York Board of Public Accountancy FAQ on CPE options.
This course is an interactive self-study course and meets the NASBA QAS Self-Study standard.
Please consult the New York Board of Public Accountancy website for further information.
