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 and applications related to specialized industries, and such other areas appropriately related to the practice of accounting, 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.
