CPE Credit Recognition — Which Certifications Accept AICPA Credits?

✅ CPA (Certified Public Accountant) — US State Boards

- Details: AICPA is a founding member of NASBA (National Association of State Boards of Accountancy). NASBA CPE credits are accepted by all state boards for CPA license renewal. Verify your state's specific field-of-study requirements (Accounting, Auditing, Ethics, Taxes).
- Reporting: Some state boards automatically receive your CPE records; others require you to self-report.
✅ CIA (Certified Internal Auditor) — The IIA
- Accepted: Yes
- Details: The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) is registered with NASBA and accepts NASBA CPE credits for CIA certification maintenance.
- Requirement: CIAs must earn 40 CPE hours annually (80 hours every 2 years).
- 1 NASBA CPE credit = 1 IIA CPE credit
✅ CMA (Certified Management Accountant) — IMA
- Accepted: Yes
- Details: The Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) recognizes NASBA CPE credits for CMA continuing education requirements.
- Requirement: CMAs must complete 30 CPE hours annually, with at least 2 hours in ethics every year.

✅ Yellow Book Hours (Government Auditing Standards):
Many AICPA nonprofit courses qualify for Yellow Book CPE credits. Auditors conducting government or federally-funded nonprofit audits under GAGAS (Government Auditing Standards) must earn 24 Yellow Book hours every 2 years. Check individual course details to confirm Yellow Book qualification.
Always verify: While AICPA is a respected NASBA-registered sponsor, each licensing body has final authority on CPE credit acceptance. Confirm your specific requirements before purchasing.
