CPE Information

The Colorado State Board of Accountancy DOES NOT ISSUE SPONSOR AGREEMENTS to CPE providers.

As of January 1, 2004, the Colorado State Board has adopted the NASBA/AICPA CPE Standards. Colorado does not pre-approve courses or providers. If both the licensee and the CPE provider comply with the NASBA/AICPA CPE Standards, the continuing education will be accepted as meeting the CE requirements for the Colorado State Board.

Providers and certificate holders are responsible for following the NASBA/AICPA CPE Standards. Below is a link to the CPE Standards for your convenience.

The Board does not review courses for providers or certificate holders to determine compliance with those Standards.

The Board does not maintain a list of pre-approved CPE courses, endorse any particular provider or make referrals to certificate holders regarding CPE course providers.
