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 five allowable subject areas can count the ethics credits towards 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 either accounting, auditing, or tax may count the ethics credits towards 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.
