A licensee can take either the general ethics course or an ethics course in a concentration area to meet the ethics requirement.

A licensee completing the annual CPE requirement by taking 40 credits in any combination of the six recognized subject areas can count the ethics credits toward his/her annual CPE total in the CPE tracking year that the ethics course is actually taken.

A licensee completing his/her annual CPE requirement by taking 24 credits concentrated in accounting, attest, auditing, taxation, advisory services, or specialized knowledge may count the ethics credits toward his/her annual total only if the ethics course is in the subject area of the concentration. An individual who is completing a concentration may take the general ethics course to meet the ethics requirement but may not count those ethics credits toward the 24 concentration credits.
